How fast they say them doesn't make two (or more) distinct words into one.

I'm around a lot of ESLs for work, and they make a lot of silly mistakes that are "obvious" to native speakers.

Most of them are also smarter than me in multiple languages.

I still use correct punctuation, but I don't clown on people for their English anymore.
