What kind of anti-immigrant crap is this? I'm a political refugee, came to the U.S. when I was 9 and I still sometimes use the wrong article. I, and just about every other immigrant I know, have been bullied and shamed because of our imperfect English. Thanks @AtlanticCouncil!https://twitter.com/benimmo/status/979709119132307456 …

One thing which betrays genuine Russian troll-factory accounts is the language. Look for an inability to use "the" and "a" (Russian is one of the languages which doesn't have them). "Burn in flames of a shame." (H/t @NBCNews for their archive of confirmed troll tweets.) pic.twitter.com/Fa9wbH1Bt7

  What is genuinely scary is that so many of the policy makers in the West seem to be as childish as Mr Nimmo here. World is entering uncharted territories and you have kids in charge. Compare the neocons to the peers in Beijing and Moscow. Very scary

  "Imperfect" language is beautiful. Immigrants, slang, children who don't know all the rules just yet. It pushes a language forward and emboldens open expression.

  I look at twitter profiles...I find claims made by those with relatively few tweets, who follow limited numbers of "people", and yet possess massive numbers of followers", (and admits to working in "security") suspect. (Dah).

  Bullying aside, it's also absurdly weak "evidence" for identifying Russian speakers since neither Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Hindi, nor Urdu use articles.
