You're better than alot of native speakers but one thing I noticed that's common with non-native english speakers is that they tend to capitalize words that they don't need to. You're being too correct in some ways.

XD

I do that. It might be especially a thing for people that speak a native language that has capitalized nouns in writing. German is one of those.

I'd say my english level is pretty close to native, but I still make mistakes, especially in writing. I also sometimes use words or turns of phrase that, while correct, a native speaker wouldn't really use.

That said, I never noticed anything negative about your english Dr.vita. I was honestly surprised that this thread was coming from you.

I think that's the case with alot of people when they learn a different language. They learn the formal or correct way to speak and write it. I didn't know that about German.

My phone always does that automatically and I don't feel like changing the spell check to english every time I write something in that language. =P

I'm the opposite of that. I'll go back sometimes to uncapitalize a name because I don't like the thing or because it looks strange to me.
