I'm not in any way against your desire to improve people's English here, but just to throw in my worthless two cents here, from the linguistics standpoint, there is not such thing as proper English. I spent alot of time studying English grammar for my SAT and to help me find the right terms to research and learn Japanese grammar. I did make some changes to the way I write for school assignments and some emails but not much. Some of the grammar prescribed in grammar books are outdated. Besides that, the grammar I use changes with the situations I'm in. I don't type the same way in Kopitiam. I don't talk the same way as I write. I don't use the same sentence structure when I talk to my Malaysian friends, even when I'm in US. I think people will naturally pick up the grammar they need as the situation arises. If a certain variation is a specific grammar rule generates much debate, it probably means that either variation is equally used currently. Generally, people don't and can't scrutinize grammar when they're reading or speaking but unconsciously perceive the naturalness and appropriateness of the sentence as they go along.
