Here you go:

Unfortunately, even teachers make dreadful mistakes. I'm neither studying English nor am I a native speaker, so it's really not my place to comment on anybody's level of English, but... A friend of mine was trying out online dating for a while and he became friends with a teacher from the UK. He copy/pasted some of her messages because I had refused to believe she makes errors as often and as badly as he had said... He proved me wrong.


I guess we could conclude people in general don't know the language as well as they should - for whatever reason. Some are not native speakers, some are -- it really doesn't matter in the end. I don't think one should try to accommodate them and lower the bar even more. It would just help with the deteriorating knowledge of English (or any other language).
