Hmm. Interesting. From a teacher on a teachers' site I had expected an "ooops, you're quite right<g>" response, not an excuse.
So how does a teacher teach people to do something well if they don't care enough about their subject to do it well themselves.
apologize for a typo?

I've seen coaches miss shots, drop passes. I've also seen pro baseball players swing the bat and miss the ball. I've seen teachers make mistakes. I have. Doesn't make any of us less competent. Careless, maybe. Human, most likely.

Also, many ESL sites have a lot of non-native speakers on their forums too. It's probably best to just join in the conversation. You don't need to correct it.

I'm sorry if you didn't get the response you were looking for, but maybe reread your comment and see if it was written to get the response you wanted.
