The only thing most anglophones can do in French is conjugate verbs.
Ask  most of those who have studied French in English language schools
to say "Am I under arrest?", and they don't have a clue. I think that
verbal fluency and comprehension in the language are worth much more
than a few memorized verbs. 

The fact is that native English speakers write just as poorly in thier
own language as Robert does in French. The errors he makes indicate that
it is his mother tongue.

I am sure that you are well aware of the dangers of stereotyping, so why
do you persist?
