I'm not the one who needed this instruction, but I just want to say that your responses are usually very understandable and, more than that, generous and well informed. And, speaking as someone who has a lot of friends from other countries with varying degrees of fluency in English,I hope that people won't be too shy to ask you for clarification when, from time to time, something you say may be unclear. It's all respectful. Respect and communication are what's important. Believe me, we American subscribers are not known for our great talent and interest in learning other languages, because historically we have been able to isolate ourselves from the rest of the world if we prefer to, and it hasn't made us any wiser or, as we now see, any safer. So it's to someone like you, who, if I recall, is now using at least three languages-- I'm guessing Mandarin Chinese, Malay and now English, that respect is due for the great effort you make to be a person who can communicate with others. No apologies are necessary.
