[PCB_FORUM] Re: Dialog box elements

I think Jonathan's point was not about making somebody
to write spell-checked English sentences. It was about
avoiding slang like "i like 2 c u soon" messages on
this board. BTW it is not obvious for non English
speaker to understand when somebody is writing in
slang.
So don't take or make it personal - i think his point
is correct. 
Disclaimer : i'm not a native speaker.
