That's a good point, those who aren't so good with English may
sometimes underestimate their lack of the language knowledge. They
would try using "advanced" word constructs or even try using slang.
Eventually this would lead to serious misunderstandings. The kind of
creativity better be avoided on public list or even in private
communications if there were risk of misunderstanding. (Nobody was
meant specifically).
