The day I start seeing in these pages a lot of name-calling and negativity will be the day I say goodbye. That's why I don't visit too many other forums, 'cause when I do I sometimes feel like I need a shower afterward.

The rule "posts are required to be written in proper English" sounds a bit scary, though. But perhaps it's just my problem and the majority of the members (native English speakers) have no problem with that.

I don't think that statement was intended for people with little or no knowledge of English. I believe the statement about using proper English is to discourage the use of street slang, or other odd derivatives of the English language (Pig latin, Jibberish), in which many readers might not understand the meaning of certain words or phrases in whole or part.

You're right, Joey. Proper English just means do your best with what you learned in grade school, and not what you learned on the street or the net. It's not to discourage communication from ESL members, just to provide a lingua franca which we all can understand.
Anyway, Sheena, your English is great! Better than a lot of native speakers I've met.

Congrats Scotty on 2000.

May yer sporran always be shiny and new and may your dirk always be wiped clean. Have fun in America. Don't forget others of your clan would probably like to follow after you. So keep the noise down or they'll bar the lot of you.

Oh! And up yer kilt mate!
