> what if the writer just isn’t a native speaker of your language [...] evaluate based on content

Evaluate as in "monetize" everything and that's how we ended up in this commercialized internet. The old web was about diversity and meeting new people all over the world. I don't care about grammar mistakes, it makes us human.

I find grammatical mistakes in non-native speakers endearing. Either when they speak English and are non-native speakers of English (I am too), or when they speak my native language and they are not native speakers of mine.

Especially when it’s apparent that it comes from how you would phrase something in the original language of the person speaking/writing.

Or as one might say: Especially when it is visible that it comes of how one would say something on mother’s language to the person that speaks or writes.
