Silmariel:

Briefly delurking.

I wanted to add that for those of us with English as second language (or 
third...) it would be a nightmare, too, and a overload of work I'm not sure 
every second languager is able to do.

Personally, I doubt I would be able. Just imagining trying to rephrase the one 
I'm replying to in a time-travel themed post predicts a severe headache. 

Want to thank the staff for the support offered to ESL's. We're legion.
