As moderator of the site, I don't want to impose any rules or regulation on members. In particular rules that can't be enforced or would make some feel un-welcome. To try and get members to correct their posts or make them post a certain way is impossible and I won't do it. Even in the USA there is regional differences in the lauguage that we can't understand!

We have a global membership and to reverse your complaint around, it wouldn't be fair or reasonable for me to ask you to fix your post so that the english used is more accurate. We have members that post in languages other than english and they get their answers.

If anyone has an issue understanding a post or word, please just ask and don't be offended.

If you can't tolerate the way the site is used by it's members, I regret that it doesn't work for you.

Higgy,

You crack me up!

Obviously, we moderate out what should not be posted here. In 10 years I think I have deleted 2-3 posts for bad content. Not just stupid spammers.

Being from the US I enjoy the fact that the site has posts from all around the world!

I enjoy the differences in the "English" language that is used here, especially from the guys down under. No where else do I get to read English where I see words that I recongnize and I still don't understand most of what is said, but eventually I get it.
I have a friend in Germany where his job is to translate English to German and back for his company. He tells me that almost all international business is done using the English language much like air traffic controllers at airports.
I'm fine with it. I surely don't think less of someone because of the English used on this site. I enjoy it ya'll (figure that one out).
