English, as used by many people who claim to have it as a first language, is misused and abused. Shorthand and laziness is a lot of what's going on.

I often see people use the lower case 'L' to represent the upper case 'i'. For example, 'l am l33t'.

Using these shortcuts just makes it harder for ESL or ETL people to understand what you are trying to say.

Ooooh,

I júst posted a Q to you, and reading this article now makes me feel a kind of pity for you. The things you have to deal with.
And...I had no idea that you have a Dutch name and speak Dutch too ! So now you'll answer my Q in Dutch ? Ja toch ? Niet dan ?
I vote for making Dutch the leading language on this site.

Bye,
