No, it is 'know your grammar well' and "speak English well" -- using the correct syntax makes the error more visible.

Regrettably, with the way you wax poetic about Haiku, you would seem to understand such things. Instead you choose to insult, belittle, and rebuke rather than carefully reprove.

And to keep this from becoming too acrid:

Reprove (v.t.): To disprove; to refute, To express disapprobation of; as, to reprove faults. To reprove implies greater calmness and self-possession. To rebuke implies a more excited and personal feeling. A reproof may be administered long after the offence is committed, and is usually intended for the reformation of the offender; a rebuke is commonly given at the moment of the wrong, and is administrated by way of punishment and condemnation. ... A child is reproved for his faults, and rebuked for his impudence. Source: Websert's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, 1996, 1998.
