Re: Re: Re: Correcting and encouraging non native English speakers

like ichimunki and doubtless many others, I'd be more than delighted to give feedback when wanted on prose style and grammar, just in the same way as it's always a pleasure to answer somebody's uncertainty about perl (not that I'm often in a position to do that - I probably am actually more use with English). I'd suggest anyone who would welcome that kind of input put something like "always glad to get feedback on my Egnlish" in the sig.

{But PLEASE don't feel "ashamed" - (A) if you get your meaning across (as you do) then you have succeeded; and (B) most native English-speakers (at least Brits and Americans) are LOUSY at other languages - because everybody else speaks our language so well, we get to be very lazy.}
