    I think it's just me not being a native speaker and being lazy with my wording

      Not a criticism.

      As far as I can tell (not a native speaker myself) it was properly worded and I only acted as if I had misunderstood it for humouristic purposes.

      I've done it for actual expressions used by native speakers by simulating language ignorance and interpreting them in a literal way, for fun, just like I did here.

      Sorry if it sounded like a criticism - I meant to just take the piss in a friendly way.
