Unrelated, but I've never seen someone use the word "assume" that way before. It technically works, I think?
As a native speaker, I read it as:
It's a bit awkward, but I skipped over it and grasped what I assume was the intended meaning, so it's fine. Better words would be "suppose" or "guess" in this context.
I don't know, the best I can do is hope. I'm not a native speaker and my english lessons are long gone, so I put words here and there as they came to my mind hoping the other side will understand... Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Hey cool! I'm native and I still don't always know if the way I'm talking is correct, but nobody really cares. If they do and take issue with it, it's not worth worrying about.
