Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that is all it is--just  
that one individual's opinion, whether informed or not. Here's mine.  
When I read or listen to someone's English, and English is not their  
first language, I simply think how wonderful it is that they are able  
to communicate--at all--in a language foreign to them. Because I  
cannot. This is neither tolerance nor apathy. It is simply being  
understanding.
