Tiba, perhaps it would be best to allow people to express themselves the best way they can. I don't think people are writing poorly because they want to. They are most likely just trying to get their message across in languages that are not theirs.

When I look at the ones that are hardest to read, I noticed that they are actually computer translations.

I would rather hear the opinions, no matter how poorly stated, than to have people stop sharing because they feel that they cannot write properly.

This is just a thought, and I could be wrong.

Tiba, I hate that I have to be on the opposite side of you on this argument, but as you know from blogging with me all this time, I am a pretty pragmatic person, and if an argument is flawed, I will not stand with it. This is one of those rare times > >
