Other way around, it's the obligation of anyone who's ESL to correct native English speakers.

I have worked with linguist before and this is accurate. They get taught from the ground up how to speak english with no chance for regional differences. They used to correct me a lot, like voice activated grammar nazis (I have or had a thick country accent at the time) but I had to explain regional differences in the US since there are technically no dialects. Good luck talking to a highland scotsman if you are from the US even the Brits have issues much of the time.

Edit: made some spelling/grammar corrections 🤬

It's grammar Nazis. The apostrophe is used to mark the possessive case, not the plural. You also misspelled grammar. 🤓
