I have recently been helping my friends by editing their scientific writing. These are international students from English-speaking India. I have noticed some interesting trends, including the absence of articles (definite or indefinite), overuse of commas, odd decisions with phrasing, and a complete lack of regard for ending thoughts with prepositions. I thought that perhaps my understanding was old-fashioned or American-English biased. It is good to know a true editor's thoughts on these pressing issues.
