IMO: It is helpful, sometimes, to remember that someone posting from another country may 1) know English as a second language and therefore should not be judged too quickly or harshly on their use of it, 2) first impressions are important. Think about how your response about another language or to a person whose primary language is not English, may make that person feel, please.

When someone posts here for the first time it is good to give them the benefit of the doubt and greet them with kindness and not somewhat terse comments.
