I see this one all the time.
I believe that happens when they talk about a lack of government involvement.

I thought this was going to be a poll on if bad grammar ends credibility for a poster.

I haven't noticed anything like the OP so I can't vote.

I don't see that. What I do see is the idea that people who are into talking big about a language, its nationalization, often demonstrate a poor grasp of the language. The OP assumed grammar, but I would add spelling to it. "Credibility" is a different issue.

Like the people who beat up this kid and tattooed 'rapest' on his forhead, trying to spell 'rapist'. No, the victim was not a rapist.
