May-01-05  BiLL RobeRTiE: Are you guys fluent in English?
May-01-05  hintza: <BiLL RobeRTiE> There are plenty of members here from countries where English is not the first language. I think it's great that we have so many users from such a variety of places. We should be grateful for the efforts people make to communicate in English, which they do for the benefit of all the English speakers here.
May-01-05  cade3: i admire them because they're able to speak & comprehend more than one language.
May-18-05  refutor: why would you admire them? most of the world can speak and comprehend more than one language...it's only an admirable quality in north america ;)
