One of the technical writers I regularly have to work with obviously learned English as a second language. It's bad enough that the dude is getting paid to write poorly, and I am left cleaning up his grammar on the fly as I try to record his scripts... but today, the dumbass sent me a "bug" that I didn't record one screwed-up bit exactly as written, with our boss and several coworkers CC'ed. I had to concoct a very diplomatically-worded email explaining why I assumed it was a "typing error" on the grounds that it didn't match previous scripts I have done for this client, rather than the grounds that that's not how English is spoken, you idiot.
