Does English matter when asking a question here?

SW-User
English is the most commonly used language on here so yes, it does matter

But grammar? Not as much
SW-User
@SW-User Yes. I mean grammar
SW-User
@SW-User Lots of people on here aren't native English speakers and they make grammatical mistakes the whole time. Even the native English speakers make mistakes as well so don't worry about it
If you mean grammar and spelling, no, at least it shouldn't. If it's understandable, it's fine.

Those who swoop in to hassle the poster about spelling and typos, etc, (from anybody but especially those for whom English is not their first language) should be required to rattle off a couple of paragraphs in the POSTER's first language and subjected to a perfection review.

@SW-User I think so.

Once it’s comprehensible, that’s all that matters. English is not presumed( by most) to be everyone’s mother tongue, if that’s what you mean.
SW-User
@Projecthonest Okay. I think I mean grammar

Same kind of theory, no, don’t let your ability to write “proper” grammar inhibit your interaction online@SW-User

I am not a native speaker, and I have never (so far) been criticised because of my grammar errors. So — don't worry, people are really nice on here.
SW-User
@helenS Okay. That's nice.
