Perhaps I didn`t make my point clearly enough. I didn`t intend to single out Spanish speakers. My opinion is that everyone other than native speakers do a poor job of speaking English. I don`t know exactly why this is; how can so many people speaking so many different languages all make the same mistakes? I believe it may be because of the lack of effort, as I said before. Possibly too many foreigners feel English is "pushed" on them, so therefore don`t make (and don`t want to make) enough effort to become fluent.
I don`t need a scientific study to tell me when someone is doing a crappy job of speaking (well, attempting to speak) my native language. Do whatever you want with your arse, but I think you`re talking from it.
