I felt like this subject should be aproached. The subject of english has come up several times, and once again in the section where Data says hello:

http://www.tcpclan.net/phpforum/viewtopic.php?t=2307

It is not easy for most people to talk or write in another language. But with practice, it gets easier. I almost could not write at all anymore, because I am living in Germany, and I only read the german papers. Talking is also hard for me anymore. It takes practice to keep up on the language. So none of you out there should feel bad for not being able to talk "right" or get some things backwards. If the American can mess up, so can you. :)

Just to be correct: Ramses wrote this, not me. But good quote anyway. ;-)
