Shaygetz: Dr Seuss wrote a story titled "The Tough Coughs as he Ploughs the Dough", a far-fetched tale of the tribulations of an English learner.
My wife was, briefly, an English teacher and later a proof-reader and editor. She learned that a lot of people who speak a non-standard English think they are just speaking a different but just as acceptable (except to their teachers) form.
One of my bosses used to insist that I or anyone else read his reports after they were typed. He claimed that when he read them he would see what he had written originally and miss all the errors.
