I don't think that's true.

For instance, pessimization is a pretty
obscure word.  Most native English speakers
could probably guess what it meant, but I
couldn't hold any low opinion of non-native
speaker that asked "what does that mean".

The code communicates just fine.

Chen Gang could be a bit more careful when
making significant changes to core kernel
facilities.

(said the guy that broke just printk)

I think the fluent English speakers can be
tolerant reasonably well when the code is
correct and compelling (and correct).

cheers, Joe
