On the other hand, I have an ESL spouse and people are regularly horrible to them regarding their English (which is actually extremely good), and there have been a lot of tears and a stress disorder because of it. Maybe I'm just over sensitive because of that, but it's far too common that people write other people off as stupid or less able because they don't speak English to a fully native idiomatic standard.
