Haifagirl: I don’t think it will succeed, only/mostly because of how much more work it will be for the mods. Of course, you could offer your services…
That is one reason why it wouldn’t work. More importantly, though, we are not trying to run a forum for English graduate students. We are open to everyone, whether they speak perfect English or not.
I can’t/shouldn’t speak for Haifagirl, but I don’t think anyone expects perfection. The ‘texting’ English bothers me the most. IMHO, if someone wants their posts to be read, they should make them readable.
The current standard is “readable to the mods.” Close enough? 🙂
I think that’s quite fair. I am curious to know if 007 concurs. 🙂
