Linguistics, you seem to have misinterpreted my comments as being anti-Filipino. They aren't. If anything, they are anti-"educators (regardless of race or nationality) who are obviously unqualified to teach anyone English".

And yes, that his grammar is subpar is exactly the point. Look, no one speaks perfect English and everyone makes mistakes here and there. A few mistakes are quite acceptable, but when practically every sentence is wrong, I say that person is grossly unqualified to teach English especially when this person claims to be a Principal of the Foreign Instructors Department. Would you want this person to be your boss? Better yet, would you want someone like him to teach your children English?
