> By the way - I'm speaking with heavy accent.

I chuckled at this because my inner voice had an accent as I was reading your comment, due to your writing style.

Sorry, curious non-native speaker here. Which accent? And which telling patterns made you think of it?

Not the person you're responding to, but as soon as I read stuff like "I trained tiny network" I tend to imagine Russian. It's the missing "a". Same thing happens in "I'm speaking with heavy accent".

I'm not a native speaker but my inner voice also switched to Russian accent very quickly!

Missing articles in English is the usual give away for someone with a slavic native language such as Russian.

I'm native Hungarian speaker, and the giveaway is the exact opposite: more definitive articles than it should be. We use that way more often in Hungarian than in English, and we are really bad with it.

Missed opportunity of intentionally introducing a few extra in this comment

Excuse me, could you write slower? I couldn't understand you.
