#don't be a dick to ppl with worse language skills I beg you

[shamebats]

Online social justice folks from anglo countries have got to start being normal about ppl from the rest of the world being less articulate in English.

Overly strict language policing will result in ppl who aren't as secure in their language skills as a native English speaking college student opting to shut up and just not contribute out of fear of accidentally saying something terribly wrong or embarrassing themselves. This makes supposed safe spaces unwelcoming to those who have trouble articulating their ideas and therefore less diverse.

If you only speak English and no other languages it's probably hard for you to understand but believe me, being clear and precise in a foreign language is fucking hard.

The least you can do is not be mean and not jump to the worst possible conclusions.
