The international membership is one of the best aspects of this forum! I've seen non-native English speakers/writers come here and improve their language skills noticeably, and I've watched very young people (native speakers) come and improve their vocabulary and writing skills noticeably. Our insistence upon proper spelling and grammar may seem restrictive to those who are used to acronyms and abbreviations, but a number of them later say that it was a good development for them.
