In most of the(above) countries ENGLISH is neither spoken( as mother-tongue) nor it is medium of common-communication. They stick to the syntax of thier respective mother/father tongues when they try to communicate through an alien language.
English is equally FOREIGN to the above quoted countries.
It is we (the former slaves) in the guise of commonwealth, take pride in Grammatically chaste English. But, we fail to take note of being made fun of our non-idiomatic usages, everywhere, where English is sapoken as Mother Tongue.
