English is my second language, but I do understand most of the "stuff" here.

English is my first (and only) language, and it never ceases to amaze me that people using English as a 2nd language (or even 3rd or 4th) have as much of a level of comprehension or grasp of syntax as they do.
I think that's one of the bigger problems where I live...it's a one-language deal. 2nd (or 3rd+) languages are not made mandatory or even pushed/encouraged for the kids in school.
For that reason, I believe many (if not the overwhelming vast majority) of other countries are FAR FAR ahead in that respect.

And the part that is really sad... Many people using English as a second language use it better than ones that only use English. Maybe that should be "use English only"??

WORD...

Yeah, Word. One day I am sure it will correct syntax and grammar like a pro.

Firefox do some syntax check... but syntax only... Oh well, as long as everybody put some effort and try to understand when it's obviously translated from x-to English with Google or else translators.. everything is OK.

Kinda patience and compassion

Actually, I meant WORD in the manner that would suggest an affirmative response, such as 'YES' or 'OK'...it's slang, but I 'smell what you're cookin'
