This is one of my pet peeves too. I'm not a native speaker, but I've
been writing documentation in English for years, and I think I'm pretty
good at it. I think the only way to judge a writer is by his/her
writing. The fact that someone is a native speaker does not say anything
about their writing abilities, just look at the "a simple question"
thread.
This Sony ad has been coming up quite a few times now, maybe they're a
bit narrow-minded about their requirements ...
