I couldn't agree more. I am always worried to hurt someone's ego when I
write to English speaking people. I hope that they don't get me wrong so
I am used to repeat the concept hoping at least one of my wording
carries the right meaning. I also use a lot of spell checking (you can't
understand what I am saying, but the single words are correct at least
:-)

Every time I hope some English speaking guy send me back my message
pointing the error I made but I think this is PICLIST and not an English
course!!
