To leap to Sextile's defence, I'm sure he meant it to be helpful & instructive, Pukka sahib and very
white man's burden, and never intended to be insulting to say the least.
However, suggesting that everyone should dumb down the English they use to accomodate some participants is a little insulting Scoops.
The Thais that I know who might stoop to spending their time on a website like this, if any, seem quite capable of dealing with the level of English found here.
