Gentoo is a worldwide project, so i guess many of the contributors are |
| 21 |
not native speakers. See the gentoo-devs all over the world [1] as an |
| 22 |
example. Okay english is the common language here, but is it that |
| 23 |
difficult to articulate in a way that everybody can understand and not |
| 24 |
to use words which could easily be misunderstood. |

Lucky you are that your native language is one of the world's most |
| 27 |
widely spoken languages. Imagine to express yourself in a language you |
| 28 |
are not familiar with! |

I hope everybody can understand this, as i am not a _native speaker_ too! |
