I think the reason why Non-native English speakers might use a better English than native speaker might be the fact that we tend to learn a "literary" English, rather than everyday's English. I believe the same constatation may be applied to virtually every language - I'm pretty sure someone who's studied French abroad would speak a better French than me, as there are loads of conjugations that slowly disappear, while some language deformations keep on appearing - but that's the way a language evolve, I guess . I'm not talking about the SMS language, which is clearly absurd (  ), though (and it looks really, really ugly in French - far worse than English)
