I will dish out no criticism to non-native speakers. The way I see it, you've come this far and I know nothing of your language save a few words. I had no idea where you were from for a long time; I assumed English was your first language when I first joined the board.
Anyone who learns my language so I don't have to learn theirs get huge points in my book, and as long as I can understand him/her (see how I did that? The him/her construction is OK for text, but so awkward in speech that I think "they" or "them" will take over in the official lexicon sooner than later) will get no nitpicking from me.
Truncated will probably still give you a hard time though; she is brutal!
