i moved to a non-english speaking country recently and have taken (after half a year) to not correcting non-native speakers english. why? because they're actually regularizing the language when they make "mistakes"! and that's a good thing.
similarly, the "o" in "losing" sounds more like the "oo" in "cool", "school". maybe we should stick to it.
