Welcome to the Cellar, Mixie.
Not sad at all, quite a common occurrence, actually.

But it frightens me that someone like me has a better grasp of the English language than people who have spoken it their entire lives.

Non-speakers have to learn all the weird rules that people growing up with it don't need to know how to communicate. That's the object, don't forget, not to be an English expert, but to communicate.
English is a very difficult language, with all it rules, exceptions and quirks.
I'm glad I speak American instead.
btw.... squirrel ....one syllable.
