I'm a technical writer. I translate the things that my engineers come up with and turn it into English. Although there was one stretch where I got loaned out to our London office doing remote writing assistance for them, and I had to retrain my brain to not only -not- correct British English spellings, but also 'fix' my American English to be the British English versions....

It's part of why I'm a little lenient with the stuff people do here. It's not their job, nor their primary function, and sometimes not even their first language. I nudge every so often, but I'm not going all style police on things, because we learn best by doing, and this isn't a professional publication -- it's a community document. It's only the stuff that really jumps out at me that I have to fix.
