People who aren't native speakers expressing themselves in a way a lot of native speaker do as well, especially if they're rather removed from urban (white) (upper) middle class prejudices about acceptable use of language, are, in my opinion, a lot less damaging than those capable of working themselves up into exalted, strongly negative emotional states (such as 'hate') because of trifles. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
