I will have to ask you to retract that statement. That was very ignorant. Abe16 is dyslexic, I am Russian, and I am sure that atusia@ had to learn quite a bit before he was able to post here like he does now.

Not everyone is quite as fluent, or ever will be as fluent, as you Alcar. I may be as good as any other English speaker, but some people aren't able to get around their language barrier.

So I for one think that Mods should look out for our dyslexics a bit more. Perhaps have Abe16's posts "translated" wherever possible by a mod or admin. I think this would reduce confusion and allow Abe16 to make a more effective contribution.
That statement was once again, another joke. Do people somehow miss the smilie I put after each joke? I can't make it any more blatent.

As for atusiya's spelling, or Abe16's spelling, that is understandable. I have nothing against them, and I understand why their English may not be up to the level that mine is. I wasn't actually thinking of either of those two when making the joke, either. I for one am extremely glad atusiya and his whole family take the effort to visit here, as I know it can sometimes be a strain on them.

I didn't accuse anyone, either. If people take offence to what I said, by no means should you. If I wanted to offend you, I'd do it to your face.

Alcar...
