Quote - BTW - anyone who doesn't natively speak any version of English gets automatic leeway (sp?) at Rendo, and everywhere else that's a mainly English written site. That seems to be a universal thing, and rightly so.

I've seen many an apology from someone having difficulty with English, and they don't need to. We're thrilled you made a go at it.

as long as i can read it i can heed it. i don't care how anyone spells. if it's inelligable it's inelligable and thers not a lot i can do about it. if it takes a tad more effort to read cos of a missplaced letter of some missing grammar, so what, are a few seconds that valuable re reading a post. and if as you say they're not native english speakers more power to them. i don't think anyone english or non english should apologise for thier spelling, no one owes it to anyone else to be a good or proficient speller do they. good spelling isn't a sign of respect is it.  i'd sooner read something good from a bad speller anyday than something bad from a good speller. jmo
