Today I was texting a girl that is not a native english speaker (neither me), due to language barrier I made a rude comment:
"you don't use the word "is" and that makes me crazy"
I mean that her language, the russian language doesn't use the word "is" (they say the banana yellow instead of the banana IS yellow) and the language is what makes me crazy, she answered "yes, I make a lot of mistakes" but probably she understood she was making a lot of errors when writing. Then after some minutes she didn't make any other comment, I think she was upset, but after many minutes I realized what I wrote, we didn't had any other comment after that.
I don't feel I was rude at all, but she misunderstood it, she won't tell me, maybe she's expecting I notice it.
So the question is, should I apologize?
