Obviously there's a balance to be struck there and different people will
judge that differently, but I'm personally far more concerned about the
former rather than the latter case.
I expect many beyond the english-as-a-first-language world are pretty
used to dealing with imperfect language but aren't so delighted with
being constantly reminded that their use language is imperfect.
Just to throw my two cents into the ring, when I comment about language
use in a review, I will almost always include suggested wording in full.
If I can't come to a decision about if my wording is better, than I
don't comment on it.
This is exactly my strategy as well.
