I have a theory about that:

Anime-culture in America attracts a lot of people aged 10-14. For older people, they sometimes see grammatical errors in the manga they read ("engrish") and so have no problem with making errors of their own; if [manga writer/animator x]-sensei-sama can get away with buggering the English language, surely they can, too?

More like an hypothesis, since I don't really have anything to back that all up with, but that's sure how it seems to me :P .
