yeah, like others have said, it's very easy to see a lot of non-native english comments all across the internet, tv, real world, in pretty much every space. It's something that it's fairly easy to ignore - people are usually able to get their point across, especially because native speakers have a whole lot of experience with interacting with non-native speakers, especially those from major language families, so can usually recognise patterns in broken grammar.

It's something I have experienced the other way too, living abroad as a native english speaker, I realised how much more perfect I had to get things, because there are very few foreigners learning to speak this language, so I have to be much more precise with how I phrase things, as people don't have the practise with parsing my broken language haha.
