A secret you may not be aware of: I wish more native writers
took more time to write the same idea.
Yes, there are non-native English users who massacre the
language, but many write far better than a lot of native users. I
saw this in university where I would hear complaints from fellow
students about why should they have to take English, that they
already know it. I would then read some of their written work. Such
often had many errors and a lack of clarity, but the author thought
it was just fine.
Sincerely,

The schools are doing a poor job. It's funny when you see teachers protesting and their signs are misspelled
