I agree. I can’t recall hearing anything that pedantic in a long time. I’d
like to see the English speakers in this forum do as well in say, Russian,
Hindi or Japanese. Let’s cut the guy some slack.

I heard a strange rumor the other day that there were these things called
“countries” where their indigenous peoples speak languages other than
English!
NTDEV is further rumored to be in communication with these alien lands.
'Course,
don’t believe it myself.
Sarcasm aside, I have to agree that this particular person’s English was at
4th
Grade level. But some of the best programmers come from Russia, Hungary,
India
and elsewhere where English is not the primary language. Keep them away
from the
resource file (or review everything closely), and you can have a very
prolific
coder at your disposal. Oh, and their English impoves the more they are
exposed
to it – imagine that!
One must applaud the person for at least trying and making posts in English,
as is
netiquette for this list.

If you mean using this list as a network for a job hunt, I don’t think so,
but I
don’t think it’s appropriate to plaster the list with resumes.
However, the original posting you referred to bordered on illiterate drivel.
Personally, I would make sure that such a posting was the most pristine
English
that I could make it. I can only imagine what his resume looked like, and
fearing,
that I certainly wouldn’t hand it to my boss because of what his email told
me.
He’s careless and or cannot write in the English language, and therefore not
a
fitting candidate for my recommendation.

My point was this mail is not a SPAM as this question has been
posted by a genuine person. Although unrelated to this list.

I hope that’s not considered to be a bad thing?
