If we are to do anything significant in the business world English is
inevitable.
I have at the same time met quite a lot of technically competent people
and hard working individuals who don't have language skills to match.

While I do agree that command on English is important in the 'globalised'
world, but should we make it butt of jokes? Should the lack of better
language skill be an obstacle in learning a technology? What is more
important -- bridging the digital divide or language skills? Adrianne
Knopper, Klaus' wife and inspiration behind Adrianne Knoppix, doesn't speak
English at all. I have met many non-English speaking experts and they
refrain from speaking the language. The point I want to drive home is, this
is a GNU/Linux mailing list, not a writer's block ;-) So, I just found it
not so good to discourage someone, by pointing grammatical or spelling
errors. We are not linguistics ... we are linexers :-)
