Are you ever worried that dialogue that is true to a character who might be lacking in eloquence or erudition will have the reader inferring that the problem is with the writer, not the character?
No. And yes.
Some readers will assume anything they like from stories posted on Literotica e.g. if you write incest you must have fucked your sister, your mother, or both.
If you write femdom? You are a wimp. If you write BDSM? You are a dangerous sadistical abuser.
If you write Loving Wives? You must be insane and/or a masochist or both.
Don't worry about it. Write what you want to write. Someone will misunderstand.

The flip-side to this is readers who are less erudite than the characters, offering "corrections" for things that are already correct. I've had a couple of those.

I've had them too.
One didn't recognise the subjunctive. Perhaps I shouldn't have used that in a Lit story?

OMG. I don't even know what the subjunctive is. My confidence is destroyed, Ogg, destroyed .... how can I ever write again ....
You probably use it without knowing that you do:
Follows link. Reads. Is immediately lost. I think I'll just go with doing what comes naturally and skip the theory. Aaaaaggghhhhhhh.
