What is your Native Language?

I suppose everyone who has so far responded realises that this poll is highly biased by being opened while Europe is awake?

Expect to be deluged by "English" when North America wakes up. This is, after all, an American site.

However, since there *are* many contributors to this forum whose native language is not English, I consider it essential that everyone spells properly. Hard enough to follow a foreign language anyway, without the difficulty that the words cannot be found in a dictionary.

I can always make a good guess as to the age of the writers in this forum, by how well/badly they spell.
