Here is a suggestion for others who do the best they can writing English on the net - without having it as their first language.

It takes time to write "Sorry, but my English is not perfect, it is because..".

So here is an acronym that could explain the same thing - if you start using it:

MFLINE (My First Language Is Not English)

From Wikipedia: There is an enormous pool of English second-language speakers who employ the language in technical, governmental and educational spheres and access the Internet in English. A classic example of this scenario is India, the world's second most populated country. With economic growth, English has begun exploding as the emerging lingua franca in India. In 1995 it was thought that perhaps only 4% of the population was truly fluent in English (still an impressive 40 million). A decade later, by 2005, India had the world's largest English-speaking and understanding population and second largest "Fluent English" speaking population (led only by U.S.). It is expected to have the world's largest number of English speakers within a decade.

Examples of use: "Writing in MFLINE mode". "MFLINE since 1982". "I am MFLINE and proud of it". - - -
