I know English teachers,and quite frankly their knowledge of the structure of English is very, very poor. This is odd considering that it's their native language and also the language they're being paid actual real money to teach to children. I doubt they'd notice half the mistakes that you do.
I blame Tony Blairs.

That's terrible.My old English teacher, Mrs Francis, was the most anally retentive person on the planet when it comes to grammar and structure. She could also speak in Old English, or whatever it is that Chaucer wrote in and read the Canterbury Tales (well, not all of them) in the original tongue.
I loved her very much.
