Every brain has a slightly different variant, and that is evolving, too.
However, you can spot a non-native speaker (or a speaker outside your
community) in a fraction of a second after they open their mouth.

Whatever it is, your brain will recognize its native language. You never
make a grammar mistake that you don't spot yourself right away.
