Onceupon, since I have been on this forum, I have been wondering if you are a real chess player, or a "grammar and spelling expert"... %-)

I have a dictionary too, but, most important, I just do not care if I speak (or write) the ultimately correct english language, because my priority is to be understood by the persons who read me.
Besides, I think that criticizing people who's mother language is not english, and who make the effort to express themselves in english, is not fair a all.
Most of english speaking people never make any effort to be understood by not english people.
I do think that I would have a lot of critics to say if Sir Onceupon tried to express himself in french, still, I would appreciate him (if so...) making the effort, and, as I am a kind and polite person, I would never say a word on the faults he would make..
The problem is, on most forums, the people all around the world are forced to abandon their own mother language just because english speaking people do think theit language is the only to be spoken.
I think it is kind of a cultural colonisation.
Shame on you, Onceupon. >:-(
