    English may not be their first language.

    Right. If and when I post in French or Spanish or Gaelic on a sub that is more than a language practice, though - in consideration of the reader - I’ll have my stuff checked. It’ll be by an AI, so there’s the hallucination risk, but at least I’ll have it checked. Even grammarly is a train wreck for non-american English, but it’s good for catching the really bad mistakes in English and maybe others.

    I don’t see where someone’s criticizing for writing in a second language. I see where someone is expressing worry about content posted without getting it checked. Do we not want our questions to be read? Do we not want to make it as easy to get an answer as possible?

    Remember when we used to see this?
