Dude that's really not fair. How many times have you spoken to someone with English as a second language and they misuse plural by mistake? It happens. I think people who speak another language and English is their second deserve a bit of leeway.
Heck, if when I went to Mexico the people were really critical and treated me like GFYers do to 2nd language English folk, I would have felt like an ass for even TRYING. I don't think that's a message we should send out in this business or anywhere in the world for that matter.
