Except that it is hard to know in advance just which words, phrases
and idioms would be hard for a non-native speaker of English to
understand. And of course, many of us native English speakers are
poor spellers and lousy typists.
If something is unclear, please ask for an explanation and we will
all do our best to understand each other.
