Re: Natural language of monks.

You can find a list of italian monks on larsen's home node and I'm in that list. I'm the coordinator of Bologna.pm and partecipate in Nordest.pm Perl Mongers group.

I have the same problem you have when writing on public forums; sometimes I need half an hour to write a node here :( The only time I asked help to my sister, who lives in Philadelphia, she gave me a wrong translation :) (see Re: OT: A link to enlightenment); when I asked my first question at Revision of a Configuration class, I wasn't able to express my thoughts clearly. And when I asked Where is $NORM?, merlyn made fun of me :)

Ciao, Valerio

Sometimes I see posts (usualy not here) that are rather illegible because the poster's english is not good enough. If the person is a Czech or Slovak I wish /s?he/ would have posted in Czech/Slovak. I think if one feels his/her english is not quite up to the task he/she should write the post in both languages. Often there is someone speaking the non-english language that can either help or at least translate. On the other hand, I think that if the "usual" language of a forum is english you should try to write the post in english (as well). To give the ones who do not know your language a chance. Often even bad english is good enough and it's a little uncomfortable not to understand a tiny bit in a post.
