No, they were explicit about the opposite of it.

> With a certain level of language skill, you start to experiment more with it, create new words, change grammar intentionally to accent your point, and simply stop caring about the correctness of what you say or write.

There are several concepts/situations here weaved together, but the two main are:

  - artistic intent, playfulness
  - inability to speak correctly
The second one is low level, and artistic intent is orthogonal to your level, and transfers from your native language.

(edit: BTW these two are closely related, since both are mostly just using patterns in places where they are not commonly used, and breaking them would be preferred)



I think your have the classification backwards

A1 level is "can barely speak the language, can maybe order a baguette"

C2 is ~native level
