Sure, but this comic is in English...

By a Spanish-speaking person. Give them a break.

I actually enjoy all this cultural swap stemming from ESL people slightly misusing English. I love languages. I love how many words come from similar roots but spreading with slightly different meaning across regions.

Me too

One thing I’ve never heard any native English speaker say, but have heard from more than one non-native speaker is the phrase ”we perfectly know“. Something like “as we perfectly know, English is a living language”

I’m not sure exactly what word I’d substitute in there to make it “proper” English, but I do know I don’t want to

"We know perfectly well" would be a common way of phrasing this as a native US English speaker.

I’ve heard British English say “we all well know” as a canned phrase even though that isn’t proper English grammar. I suspect it’s borrowed from French, like a lot of British English phrases.

One of those people was French, so it’s possible

The artist is Colombian.

And whoever wrote that is probably a native Spanish speaker.
