A non-native can communicate better than a native in several occasions.



Grammar is, by definition, what native speakers get right when they don't give a fuck.


Descriptivism x Prescriptivism, the thing someone is getting wrong today was something that someone "got right" before

Yes grammar deviations from the norm "are right" if they are productive and if they are understood in a collective manner.

This is different from someone who speaks with an ininteligible pronunciation
