Sorry, I love this comic but I have to downvote for the atrocious English. There’s nothing in the show that indicates that Igneous is that much of a moron.
To be honest this seems less like the artist is purposely giving him bad english and more like english isn’t the artist’s first language in the first place. I could be wrong (in which case I apologize, pencils), but the dialogue has given me that impression so far.
Pencils is Finnish so proper modern English isn’t his first language, let alone Elizabethan Modern English.
But he is grateful for it being pointed out and to receive some pointers or direction to improving it later on.

So wait, if one of the things Equestria’s magic does is enhance his strength, Anon could possibly delay the fatal boomsplosion further via physical exertion, right?

Maybe not OTP, but there are so few other creatures he’s met that also have five digits/claws/what have you, that he must like having somthing similar to him.

As much as I would like to see something like that happen, I say we let the story build up. This just keeps getting interesting~

On another note that Spike panel was super cute. Most Excellent.
Apart from him being Amish.
For someone who isn’t a primarily English speaker, Pencils writes better English than some American-born people.
