well since there will always be people both native and non-native speaking any language improperly, what would be examples of bad polish spoken by poles if this is true?

"Zdjedli my kolację" instead of "zjedli¶my kolację" - means we ate supper

Good question! Can I add to it? Can we also have the translation/reason why the one is bad and the other isn't?

Both examples are correct and in use. The second one could be anounced to be proper polish by people from Warsaw.

In different regions one is correct, in another it's not.
In Warsaw, a student journal is called "dzienniczek". In Kraków it's "perepetka"
"Fartuszek" in Warsaw is a school uniform, in Kraków it's "chałat"
to go outside in Warsaw it's "i¶ć na dwór" in Kraków, it's "i¶ć na pole"

Example of bad Polish:

wrong: Poszłem do sklepu - (spoken by a guy) very common, quite often heard, should be
correct: Poszedłem do sklepu.

BTW it meant (I went to a shop).

Regional expressions are not considered mistakes or bad language. Though, they may cause confusion.

Another example (spoken Polish):

wrong: Kwiatki som białe - "flowers are white", while should be
correct: Kwiatki s± białe. - in this case it's a matter of pronounciation, but I did see it written. a serious error.

Who might speak like that? Our former president Lech Wałęsa.
