So feel free to point out the erroneous spellings and other
parts of the text not looking optimal.
I dont't mind them but if you 'would prefer' it to be better
you know how to reach that goal...

I am not Michele but I did understand Bruce's posting not
the way you do: he is _not_ asking for improvement.
He just complains about the bad english but doesn't tell his
opinion to Michele (but to the uk.. newsgroup) nor does he
offer his help (being a native-speaker).
I just think was behavior is not very nice.
(No tragedy but also not nice.)

Michele is _not_ running an international business!

Sorry about not being able to understand you! :-(
Who is 'we'?
(Andreas and his wife? Siemens? The whole world?)
I cannot speak for 'us', I can only tell you my own private
point of view: I like muLinux and I have no problem with it
containing several english spelling errors.
If _you_ want muLinux to be better why wait for an hypothetical
native-speaker going to improve it?
You see things not being correct?
Just tell Michele what to change!
(Just my 0.2 euro.)
