I work with a lot of foriegners and one mistake I notice, which isn't a big deal but get on my nerves with prolonged exposure to it, is omitting the word "The" from sentences.
Like "Are you going to other side?" Instead of "Are you going to the other side?" And in a similar way omitting "Your" in sentences like "Are you going on (your) break?"
Your first example is clearly wrong, but isn't the latter correct in modern usage?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
