[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 6737, member: 158"] I just wanted to take a second to tell our non-native english speakers how much i appreciate their efforts in conversing in my native tongue. Many of you apologize in your posts for your poor english, but i want to assure you that we who speak only ONE language certainly are not judging you on your proficiency at your SECOND [or third or fourth] language. Personally, i've tried on several occasions to become at least passable in another language [i've traveled abroad quite a bit] and i have failed miserably every time. You who grapple with our ridiculously complicated and logically incongruous language are to be commended. And yes, i know i just used several words that my target audience will probably have to look up. :) Seriously, thanks for your efforts. Now, no more apologizing.... :) [/QUOTE]
