I'm ashamed of my US college education and the US public school system, for it has failed at even the most simple task: endowing me with intelligible enough English so that random commentators on the internet are able to identify my first language.

I had seen statistics that our school systems were bad. But it wasn't really palpable until I got accused of having the vocabulary and grammatical equivalent of a paid Chinese shill.

You are ashamed of your own education? The only part of the education system you can control?

.. endowing me with intelligible enough English so that random commentators on the internet are able to identify my first language. ..

This reads like a terrible thesaurus auto correct.
