Reply to comment by delta4956 in Native title granted to South Australian Wirangu people recognises it 'always will be Aboriginal land' by DaRedGuy

Thank you so much for explaining that! I really appreciate it ♥️

Also my apologies for using the word “native”, I’m not Australian (I’m European) and English isn’t my first language, I know of the term “(non) native speaker” so I thought I could also use that word to describe myself. But I will just say “I’m not Australian” next time :)

Your use of that word was fine. It seems there was a mix up on their part with regards to reading comprehension, wherein they conflated the content of your questions with how you actually used that word. The confusion stemming from forgetting or not considering the multiple uses for the word “native.” Especially when written in lowercase*.

*To be fair, it’s difficult to rely on that level of grammatical detail on the internet.

Not at all, it was written for education not correction you were interested so I shared. Language isnt quite the same here as America for example, it's not going to start riots, and I'm sure there's plenty of indigenous Australians who wouldn't think twice to hear it.
