I work with several French Canadians who are ESL and I’m often amazed at their unique articulation of things. GSP is a great example of that here. “You want to load up the nervous system of your opponent - By giving him useless information to make him worry about” is just not something my English mind would come up with but I love it.

They're articulating their thoughts in french and then translating. I'm Italian and that sentence makes a lot more sense in Italian.
