List of unrealistic wishes becouse you can't restrict creative thinking and freedom of speech. All you can do is to remain polite and respectful when discussing about something...

There goes any insight for non-English speaking members into everyday English from ALL nations of the English-speaking world - how do you know they don't want to hear that kind of stuff? Does this legislation extend to the Multilingual Corner?

Funny thing is, I would expect all those points to be common sense and mostly upheld as best as everyone can. As far as the english, which one? I know slang from them redcoats and diggers even gets me once in awhile. Al lgreat points but like life, ain't gonna happen all the time.
