[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if leniency is given to essays where English is not the primary language?[/quote] It's been my experience that people whose second language is English often have "better" grammar than native speakers. We as native speakers have learned it organically through conversation, and we tend to pick up regional nonstandard usage. For example, my best friend in law school always said, "I could have went." Because that's how people spoke in her neighborhood growing up. It drove me nuts. I don't hear those types of mistakes from bilingual people. [/quote]
