You aren't an American.
I know my spelling sucks but i am American
It isn't anything to do with your spelling or punctuation.
I'm an extremely sloppy typist myself and had to overcome several learning difficulties but your posts are quite clearly recognizable as coming from someone who has learned English as a second language, indeed to quite a high standard, but whose mother tongue does not use the definite and indefinite article in the way that Latinate and West Germanic languages do. This rules out any attempt at claiming Spanish as a first language, also having taught English as a second Language for some years, us Tesol teachers became rather adept at spotting which country a student came from by his use of English. This is most obvious at the intermediate level.
Your English is obviously to a very high standard, you have probably studied in an English speaking country and some of the obvious markers aren't there but its is clear that you are not a native speaker. I'd guess Farsi, Arabic or Urdu but , obviously you aren't going to admit it.
