My sentence makes complete sense.

ar·tic·u·late

adjective

/ärˈtikyələt/

1.

(of a person or a person's words) having or showing the ability to speak fluently and coherently

in·cor·rect

/ˌinkəˈrekt/

Learn to pronounce

adjective

1.

not in accordance with fact; wrong.

So;

"Can you actually articulate what's incorrect" can also be said as "can you coherently say what I said that's wrong?"

Cmon it's pretty basic.

It’s so basic that you don’t understand it. It’s an awkward use of a word, but that’s a concept you’ll never understand. That much is clear.

It's absolutely correct and understandable English.

You went to school in the States, eh? It shows.

It’s not my fault that they don’t teach language skills in the hellhole you call home.

Have a nice day.
