This comment will probably never be read, but nevertheless ...
I am a Frenchman living in the Netherlands. And you are both correct and incorrect ...
The Dutch are probably among the most fluent non-native English speakers in Europe, BUT, they speak for most of them a "good enough" English, and not at all a perfect English.
This usually materializes even more when they are writing.
There is even several books (usually written by Dutch authors themselves) making fun of "dutchisms".
That said, I don't necessarily consider myself better ... Simply, I do other kind of mistakes, so their mistakes usually strike me more than my own mistakes of course, but mistakes of other French speakers as well
