As a counterpoint to that observation, I can think of several close  
friends who speak and write English far more elegantly and accurately  
than I do, none of whom learned English as a first language.

If there is a requirement to be able to read and write English  
accurately, then let it be specified as such and not by potentially  
false assumptions as to what childhood background anyone might  
imagine would influence linguistic performance.
