I find and I sense others find that one someone's English is off a bit it just makes things "Charming". Americans find "foreign" accents "sexy" for the most part. Maybe you're thinking about the French!? I hear they get pissed of when French is not spoken perfectly - who knows? I just try to be aware if somones English is less good that I may not be aware of what they are trying to convey. But I think everyone communicates just fine on the LUG.
