I've just thought about how it's probably sometimes hard/funny to understand what we, guys whose Enlgish is not so well, are trying to say something over here...

So on behalf of my name I apologize to every English-speaking QueenZoner for my terrible English, hope I don't bother you too much with my attempts to say something on perfect English.

I wouldn't worry about it. Your English is great. :-)

Loads of people tell me that their English is terrible, but to be honest, I always thought they were English anyway, so it can't be that bad!! :D

Perfect English?

Most "foreigners" speak better English than the locals!

I've been very impressed with fans from all over the world and their use of English.

Fourteen year old Dutch kids write better English than 14 year old English born and bred kids.

That's because youse blokes don't know proper English, mate! *cracks open a Fosters, realises he's doing so and throws it away*

heh, true dat. I am skeleton.

I have no problems with anyone who's using English as their second language - as stated above it's usually those for whom it is supposed to be their first who massacre it most offensively.

I would rather figure out what an Italian means, than try to figure out how to ask him in Italian... (for example)

You foreigners should be proud of your english, because you speak it better than many people who have been living in America their whole lives.

I still have to meet the first foreigner who says something as idiotic as:

"Yous people..." or "You is OK?"

Well as a rule foreign people will learn to speak/write better English because they learn standard English. Whereas, especially in England, with accents and dialects, words get changed, so they may be written differently. I have noticed this since I moved from Bristol to Northern England. It has not, however, changed the way I write... :D

You don't neet to worry, though it's kind of odd for me to say so whose native tongue isn't English. Anyway even though English isn't your native tongue, yours is great! You make me feel that I need to make an effort...
Je vais bien. Estoy bien.
