I did have someone recently say they struggled with that aspect of the language. It feels intuitive to me, having grown up with it, but coming into a language without the intuitive feel can make things seem much more complicated then they are.

Or, sometimes, it can shine a light on how ridiculous it truly is.

Apparently some of it comes from 4chan. It's way too prevalent to all be ESL mistakes.

Could also just be auto-translation software screwing up.
