Just did. Hope it will help to avoid future confusion on this topic as I am not
sure if your text is more clear than my original text.

I often see people apologize for their use of the english language. And every
time I conclude I perfectly well understand the posting. I think (more or less
came to the conclusion) that non native english speaking people understand
each other very well as they don't even see (notice) the small slips in wordings
and grammar. Of course this is different for native english speaking people
and may cause confusion.

>(And why didn't you capitalize REBEL 10 too? :-)

It was capitalized on my pages also in the new text, of course I would say :-)
