I'm really trying to get the Englishisms out of my French at the moment.
Fortunately I work with a lot of native speakers (as you'd expect where I work :) so it goes two ways, really.

The one mistake we won't correct is my colleague saying 'basically' with 'a' as in 'hat' rather than 'hate' because it's absolutely adorable and makes women go weak-kneed.

I like having foregn-isms around. Adds to the diversity.
At my company, we've also got a tribe of Frenchies, a Mafia of Italians, some assorted Russian speakers (not sure how many of them really are Russian), plus goodness knows howmany other people from goodness knows where else.

two Arabic, one Spanish, one Italian, three German and one Portuguese.
