    In a nutshell: Less than 10 percent of the world population are english natives. You might want to think about that...

    I find that most attempt to communicate in English even if it's not their first language.

    Why do you feel dirty?

    I also find that non-native speakers actually write better englis than say native speakers. Maybe cuz they actually had to learn english or something.

    (yes all spelling was on purpose).

    It actually is, Jig, I believe. Initially, in the very very start, PL did a debut alongside the iPad release. After a few short weeks, the iPhone version was released.

    Your grammar isn't all that great either, Elite. As long as you can understand what the post is saying - I do not see the big deal.

    I don't think Kiwi's a native speaker either, forgive me if I am wrong! However, I am pretty sure that he did not mean the negative connotation of dirty that it appears like.

    P.S: Kiwi, it does seem like you're looking down on non-english players. You may want to reword your original post.

    Be on the the lookout for Grammar "Extremist" . They hang around elite kraag cannons and drop English lessons.

    English, it's just another language.

    I mean, if someone else who is a non-native English speaker were to be surrounded by tons of other native English speakers, they will probably feel "dirty" as well.
