I am, and I don't dispute what you say to be true since it was so for me as well. But we are talking about two different things. I wasn't arguing the legitimacy of learning a language via fandom (if you're so inclined), but the wisdom in judging people's shortcoming based on your fandom interactions with them. Whether or not your English improves via fandom is irrelevant, my point was that people's priorities differ and if someone doesn't find improving their language skill to be important, it's fine. Maybe fandom is the only place they even need English, we never know.

The question of priority notwithstanding, each person learns at a different pace and in their own way. It's possible what we experienced may not be true for this woman, or perhaps she's still learning by osmosis right now and won't necessarily appreciate being judged for it. In the mean time, she will use her imperfect English command to be fannish, and I find nothing particularly judgment-worthy in that.
