Why you are baiting again, I have not the faintest idea.

Proper English when spoken well, is impressive.

Proper English has nothing to do with it. Proper English can be spoken with or without an accent.
What is your primary language?

Your funnyIt's obvious that English is not your first language. Here's a lesson for you. The above should have been written: You're funny. "Your" is possessive. "You're" is a contraction for "you are".
Here is a example for you:
We're still seeing right throught you Nemo.

In this context, what you meant to write was "Proper English, when written well, is impressive."
Of course, even that is a bit silly since it is a redundant statement. Proper English is by definition well-spoken or well-written.
Also, the proper' phrase is "You're funny," instead of "Your funny."
Calpernia asked a legitimate question. He or she knows you aren't an American-born English speaker. Why not simply answer the question? There is no need to be ashamed or evasive.
