For being a non-native English speaker, is there anyone like me?

What are you trying to ask exactly?
You shouldn’t be too worried about having perfect grammar, and it would only be a problem if people don’t understand what you’re saying.
Even native English speakers don’t use perfect grammar, and some of the users on here are native English speakers, and they make common grammar mistakes. Common one I see is “should of” and “could of” instead of “should’ve” and “could’ve”.
So if native English speakers Jack up their own grammar, then you shouldn’t be worried.

Thank you. Your answer makes me relaxed.
About what I asked, I think there were two problems.
Worried about the language problem but also curious of the other one, which about other members' native languages.
A decent chunk of the users here are native speakers. A good but if us are American, judging from the spelling, a few Brits and Canadians sprinkled in.

You are welcome to the community. I have been here and I feel that the admins are good people and will correct you where necessary with love. So, feel free being here.
Yet to find a forum that polices grammar. Also I speak (some) tamil, hindi and english.
I’ve never seen a forum do it, but more individuals. Though those individuals also had various other insufferable personality traits, so the grammar Nazi aspect added to the annoyance.

We may question what you mean, but it's all good here 
Your responds make me relaxed and feel free!
I speak Chinese and can read some Japanese but weaker than English. The problem I worried is that some words I choose may be not inappropriate which makes people feel being offensed, though I didn't mean it.

A normal person shouldn’t be offended at someone’s grammar mistakes.

Same way that I look at it as well.
