It would ruin a conversation to correct someone's English whenever they made a mistake.
Parents don't really correct their two-year olds' grammar, either, and the kids get along just fine within another two years before school.
School is for getting great grammar. The real world is for improving your flow.

I agree, this is a general phenomena everywhere you go! It shows that even the Western people still have enough civility and (sense of) shame left.
