Weeeell... If you *do* know English, it would be appreciated if you
posted in a version of it which is easily found in dictionaries :)
That's because those same people who may have to post in their native
language without any "fall out", may also be struggling to read the
answers in English and using the dictionary to help them with it.
I used to read the German lace list for a while. Even my passive
knowledge of that language is wobbly, and active nonexistent, so it was
a slow process, but I managed. If, however, someone wrote to the list
in German slang, I'd have been lost entirely...
