What if your grammar is that bad that people struggle to understand you?

I know someone who is incomprehensible most of the time. I have to ask probing questions just to vaguely understand what they're trying to communicate. I've politely told them more than once about the issue but they never try; they're not mentally challenged or anything, just an ass.

Then they couldn't correct you.

I've never met a native speaker like that, but yeah I think they're the exception that proves the rule.
