There's a useful *check* for this I always use: just imagine saying
these words *spoken*, and many times you'll find that what was written
sounds *robotic*!

Just a friendly reminder to everyone that we don't have the luxury
of personal interaction via this list, so be careful when choosing
your words. It's hard to convey tone and meaning sometimes. I know
it's tough for those who don't speak English as a first language

Hi,
Yes, English is 'not' my first language and sometimes, I have hard
time to explain myself and while I am trying to show my helpful,
supportive, nice and friendly comments/point of view, the language
barrier still have the upper hand and sometime, people misunderstand
what I am trying to do and my words as well. Therefore, I apologize if
I haven't checked my words which I have written before sending the
email and sorry if my words seem rude/not nice, etc but I definitely
do not mean that. I do have that habit of sending emails without
'reading' them and I do blind typing and typing super fast so that is
very much expected :)
Also, I am out of this conversation so kindly and please no need for
private emails, etc :)
I always follow this motto which I come up with: "Disagree but don't
disrespect." :)
Sorry again for any misunderstanding!
