I have had several email conversations with Andrew and he seems like a nice person to me. I sometimes think non-native English speakers pick up bad speech habits because of the absolutely sewer-mouthed "popular" folks on Twitter.
For a non-native speaker, he sure runs circles around my native speaking ability. Kind of humbling. I am glad this is a not a typical thing for him. His writing and examples are really well done. Not one sign of IEEE-eese anywhere. And I perfectly understand everything he says. He makes the complex seem simple. And that takes talent. In college, I had several Vietnamese friends that when they got together and started speaking Vietnamese to each other, they swore in English like a sailor. When I started laughing, I got the "what?" from them. When I told them they were swearing in English, they adamantly denied it. They did not even realizing they were. It was hysterical. Maybe we could talk him into a re-write of the manual pages?
