But in noX4's case, it is a word usage/definition error -- not completely bad grammar.
I think errors of a specific nature (rather than overall bad grammar) are more easily correctable, especially if the person is motivated. And asking for correction from noX4 seems to indicate motivation.
I learned a good part of my vocabulary from reading, not from hearing it used. As a result, my pronunciation (and sometimes definitions) haven't always been good. One of my friends used to let me know when I was mispromouncing words. Although it was embarrassing, it was less embarassing than learning about my mistakes much later.
