He's likely english. A non-native speaker would take more care to write something that makes sense. And a person who can write (in whatever language) would use correct punctuation for the different parts of speech.

So he can't write. Likely english (maybe 60% probability). Looks like he's drugged out of his mind, whatever language is his first language.

The "flame" is because his capacity for composition isn't up to that of an eight year-old. You can't say "Why I open g-t" in ANY language. German? "Warum Ich g-t offne". No. French? "Pourquoi j'ouvre g-t". No. Spanish? "Por que abro g-t". Well, that sounds like he's asking himself a philosophical or rhetorical question. I could go on, but the idea's the same: what he said doesn't make sense in any language, in any translation. To me it looks like a person with a brain defect. I.e. like somebody of about sixteen who's in remedial education and has yet to attain the mental standard of an eight year old.

Perhaps I simply am very logical - I parse what's written. When it doesn't make sense, my brain says so. It doesn't matter if it's english, math, programming - the brain goes "clunk, ungggh" when it hits a semantic impossibility.

Anyway, he's likely english. The whole structure of the sentence is typically english. Simply using "does" means that he probably can't be a foreigner, since only english has that modal verb. No foreigner would choose to use it (my russian friend complains that "how do you do" makes no sense to her). And getting the declension of "do" right is typically english too.
