When I taught in India, I noticed this among some Indian students, but

ESL students from Korea. Their Korean was left at a childish level, I was told by an
adult Korean, but I can tell you that many of them ended school with pretty poor
English skills.
As for the Indian students, this is also due to the fact that a lot of English is
taught by people with pretty low English skills themselves. I accept, and love, that
there is "Indian English"; particular uses that are common in India. That is a
different thing. Signs abound for courses in "Advance English", which always makes me
chuckle.
However, if you speak even remotely as well as you write, Gemuse, then you are being
far too hard on yourself. I am now a teacher in England, and I can tell you that I
know many people, teens and adults, who could not manage to write as well as you.
