So much bad English

How come so many people who claim in their profile to live in English speaking countries have such bad written English?
I'm not talking about people who live in countries where English isn't the main language.
I don't even mean spelling mistakes.
I'm talking about bad tense use. Not using words properly.
I get the feeling that these are bot or fake accounts.
Has anyone else noticed this?

bad written

Poorly written...

@SomeMichGuy I read it as bad modifying written English, and is thus used correctly, but your suggestion is better as it does remove the ambiguity.

@katydidnt So it might have been more poorly written than to say "poorly written"? 😉

@SomeMichGuy [Katydidnt] thank you both for your remarks and suggestions.
My meaning was that their writing in English is bad.
But [SomeMitchGuy]'s suggestion is better 👍🏻

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Sorry, I agree with you, but it was just TOOOOOOOO tempting.

Esp. because of Simon Templar... 😉

No problem @SomeMichGuy and besides, no one's a real Saint 🤣

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Templar was definitely a gray-area guy! lol
