In my experience, ESL speakers and native English speakers tend to make different kinds of mistakes.

ESL mistakes will be more in the construction of the sentence (using "on" instead of "in", incorrect verb tenses, etc). They'll make mistakes that, if spoken out loud, would be immediately and obviously wrong to a native speaker.

Native speakers, on the other hand, tend to make mistakes that would not be obvious when spoken aloud. Homophones is a big one: their/there/they're, your/you're, etc. ESLs are actually pretty good at differentiating homophones, because those words usually aren't similar in their native tongue and confusing them is unlikely.

I usually find it pretty easy to tell the difference between an ESL speaker and someone who just doesn't proofread their shit. But maybe I'm more attuned to it, being an ESL speaker myself (albeit one who uses English in her everyday life, at home and at work, and not just on the internet).

ESL here too

I noticed that too. Unfortunately, once I got a better grasp of spoken English, I started making more homophone-related mistakes. XD

Another ESL

This, so much. I have a mutually beneficial beta relationship with my native speaking friends. They correct my often faulty use of prepositions (seriously, English prepositions will be the end of me) and I help them hunt down homophones.

Yet another ESL here

Freaking this! I find it incredibly easy to distinguish between natives and ESLs when mistakes are made, because they are just not the same mistakes at all.
