Hello everyone
Isn't true that most people you meet and speak to abroad do 
not speak correctly - and students - especially high level students 
(old - 5 points) should learn to understand "bad" English. Anyway  
they hear it all the time on the TV!
Also students can learn that even if they speak incorrectly when 
they are abroad, they will be understood.  If  teachers insist that 
when students speak in class their grammar must be correct, 
they are stopping more than 50% of the students from speaking 
up which is a shame. 
The only people who ought to be more careful of correct grammar 
and not inventing words are our representatives talking on 
CNN, BBC, FOX or some other international TV company.
