Why some English native can't speak at highest level?
I mean, when you look at some native's profile (some of them are also informal teacher) and they did the OOPT test, why not everybody can achieve the C2 level although English is their mother-tongue?

Question

Answer

As we go through our lives, we pick up different accents, dialects and have slang terms incorporated into our language and as it is still perfectly understandable, many grammatical rules are treated more lax in day-to-day life and 'bad' grammar becomes a habit; the norm. This is why native speakers don't always get top marks on OOPT tests!
