Since graduation, I worked for a mid-sized tech/IT company. My supervisor is a very skilled engineer and a mid-level manager. I asked him for a LOR, and he gladly wrote me one.
I told him that the letter would be confidential, but he insisted that I look it over after it is done. So I accepted his offer and looked at the letter.
Overall, the letter is incredibly strong and almost 2 full pages long. However, it does have some word choice mistakes, grammar errors, and sentence structure oddities. These things are expected since the LOR writer originally immigrated from India and speaks English as a second language. But even though his writing abilities aren't excellent, he is a genuinely great and humble person, and the letter is almost embarrassingly strong.
Would it be a problem is a LOR has some minor errors and appears not to have been written by a native speaker? I am not going to ask him to fix anything, of course, as that will be disrespectful.
