I have worked for big corporations and you would be surprised about how mid- and upper management write: talk about differences between
1. It's and its
2. principal and principle
3. their and they're and there
I even sometimes compose or proofread emails and documentation; they then cut-and-paste and send it as their creation.
I could go on. I do not pretend to be a great writer, but why (as an immigrant) do I need to do what I do.
