I usually take that into consideration, and sometimes it's easy to tell when someone is not used to speaking or typing in English and is using Google Translate. That I can forgive. I am slowly learning myself that I have absolutely no ability to learn another language, so I understand the difficulty.
But I have come across people who know English as their first language, and for some reason either can't be bothered or they think their story is exempt for some reason.
I have a rant about this on my Deviantart page...
I once edited a story for someone on Deviantart, and when I sent it back, he went around telling people in the comments that I had edited it to "how he (meaning me) wanted it" and how he didn't think it mattered. And I flat out asked him if he grew up with another language as his first language, and he told me that he was American, he knows English good, and he doesn't get what the big deal was and why mean people like me are trolling his story page.
Pfft. That's when I put up the rant.
I apologize for that the run on sentance, by the way.
EDIT: Found the story I was talking about. If you want a laugh (or a headache) click here.
