The one thing I am so surprised about is that this thread has brought out the Grammar Nazi Squads yet those that profess to being in this said squad have themselves got errors throughout their rant.
I am a teacher - I teach Physics - firstly it doesn't make me good at English at all!!! In fact I'd suggest iam merely average at grammar. I'd hope that you don't find mistakes (other than accidental typographical errors) in my posts. However, the one thing I do accept, is I am open for constructive criticism and I learn.
I agree with many people's points of view here - there is more to just bad English than ignorance. There's probably a lot of underlying issues that we don't need to know about.
But above all - if someone corrects you (constructively) listen and learn and don't take it personally.
Learn where an apostrophe goes.
Learn the difference between their and there.
That's a start... I have loads more incidentally - but I don't quite have the time right now
