It does make sense to check the msgid if you want to spell check the
original untranslated English. The corrections in the PO would be

"An English-only, or even an English-mainly, policy necessarily condemns
most people, and thus the country as a whole, to a permanent state of
mediocrity, since people are unable to be spontaneous, creative and
self-confident if they cannot use their first language"
