I don’t think I did, where would you put it? Seems by the downvotes I offended someone, I don’t really know where but keen to correct it if that is the case!

What djKianoosh means is that you missed reading the word "so", leading you to read the comment as:

"Puerto Ricans are US citizens as long as they know English..."

...instead of:

"Puerto Ricans are US citizens so as long as they know English..."

What the comment says: "Puerto Ricans are US citizens so as long as they know English ... it's relatively easy"

What you think the comment says: "Puerto Ricans are US citizens as long as they know English"
