The official language of countries such as the United Kingdom (__en-uk__), NewZealand (__en-nz__), and Australia (__en-au__), [English] is also an offical language of the European Community, the United Nations, the International Standards Organisation ([ISO]) and [#wlug]. Besides its offical capacity, [English] is also the default language of science, business and travel world-wide. It is spoken by millions of speakers as a second language and mangled by the Americans (__en-us__). ThisIsNotAmerica. |

Many, maybe most, OpenSource projects use [English] as the primary language of communication, but most non-trivial projects (incluing this wiki) have valued contributors for whom [English] is a second langauge. Please do not assume that because someone is not a fluent speaker (or writer) of [English] that they do not have a valuable part to play in a project. In general neither cluelessness nor cluefulness is dependent on the language in which it is expressed. |
