So the little girl's mum's English is not "wrong" it's just not appropriate for advancing academically.

I delicately and painstakingly made that point.
With ESOL (as we called them) I didn’t give a ****. I’m talking about black kids whose native language is English. They have just as much right to the ownership of their native tongue as anyone. 90% of it is verb conjugation which should be ****ing irrelevant whether it’s a medical journal or a text to a friend. If it’s communicated then mission accomplished.
