Can we make it mandatory for users to register their first language? It's very difficult to tell if a person has a hard time articulating a post because they're new to the language or because they're new to thinking. I'm happy to help foreigners who are putting in the effort. If English is your first language and you still can't make yourself understood, it just feels like a waste to help you.

Could you please explain more clearly what you mean in this sentence?

Google that sentence. It's a joke. TheDewd probably meant "I can't understand what you're saying".

I thought it might be, but I didn't want to offend anyone if they really couldn't speak English.

I disagree, because english is the international standard, and most non-native speakers will be able to articulate themselves most of the time. And when we do make mistakes, they range from "oh, yeah I suppose that's a better way to formulate it" to "Even for go want to look more like English speak?".

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.
