Alex, while I've often found it difficult to read the `broken English' from our friends in other countries, I would never presume to correct their spelling. The `bottom line' is communications. English is hard enough to learn and spell, even for those of us born in countries that speak the language. I find it easy to understand the intent of their messages. One of the great attributes of this group is it's international audience. Despite our `native tongues', we learn so much from each other. - Tom At 02:46 PM 5/9/98 +0300, Alex Torres wrote: [SNIP] > And not everybody's native language is English ! >There are many people from non english speaking countries present here.
