I am an editor at world social literature and often bullied by writers for not understanding correct English.

Usually it can be, although it can be difficult sometimes. Generally, I find writers to be some of the most snobby people when it comes to those who are learning languages. You would think they'd be a bit more open than that. If English isn't your native language, they're being pretty disrespectful to you.

This is a question about linguistics. As long as the main part of a message are present then it can be understood. Think if you are standing by a noisy machine and you do not pick up every word - you often can still understand.
If you listen to two strangers talking - you can generally get the gist even when they refer to things that they are not explicit about.

I don't understand what you're asking. You're bullied for not understanding correct English? Surely as editor you should be able to understand, part of the job isn't it?

If you are an editor then I would expect you to understand the English language and it's correct usage !

I am told that English is a very difficult language to learn to use properly but a very easy language to make yourself understood in. I sometimes find it diffficult with a very strong accent but can usually make out what it meant eventually

I worked for many years as a social worker, and from my experience I can confirm that those bulling you are stupid twits.even speaking the same language is not a guaranty that they will understand and empathised properly with each other.

GOOD QUESTION...Yes. People often use excuses. Clever people, use many a trick to gather information. Just as your question. You may be, too nice, or to stupid, or even smarter, than those, who pretend to bully you. I could be me, someone else, or a fool. I could even make stuff up, and have it printed just for fun.
