I love this because I very briefly dated a man, born here in the US, with bad grammar.

“When we hear bad grammar, our pupils dilate, and our heart rate increases, indicating a fight-or-flight response. Interestingly, we respond more forgivingly when the error-prone speaker talks with an accent, probably because we expect (and forgive) grammatical slips more readily from someone for whom our language is not the primary one.” — Nick Morgan, Psychology Today.

I love this because I very briefly dated a man, born here in the US, with bad grammar. Even tho he read voraciously. I always had a very hard time when he'd mess up not correcting him.
