      <![CDATA[<p>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.</p>

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

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

      <![CDATA[<p>Ooooh,</p>

<p>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.<br />
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 ?<br />
I vote for making Dutch the leading language on this site. </p>

<p>Bye,<br />
