I would agree that a number of non-native English speakers tend to write better than their native English speaking colleagues if only because they've been taught to do so, whereas the native speakers have been taught through culture more than through a textbook, so their speech is full of colloquialisms and grammar errors that have found their way into acceptable speach pattern.
At the same time, however, I've found that those who are able to roleplay well enough often pass off any deficiency as a simple racial trait. That is, if they are a Troll, their speech impediment is simply a fact that they learned to speak Common later than Trollish. It's basically an IC analogue to the OOC situation, and in almost all situations works out quite well.
