I'm beginning to wonder...

Alright, so I have read previous threads about misspellings and poor grammar in Audiogon posts, and I have even joked about it myself in one thread a long time ago. In fact, while I was poking fun at a misspelled word in the thread, I misspelled one myself and was called out for it!
What I am beginning to wonder about is what percentage of Audiogon members speak (or write) english as a first language. Almost every day, there is a classified or a post that is nearly unreadable. The strange thing is that the post will be answered by several readers with no mention of the poor writing. It is so common, that I am wondering what pecentage of regular members are living in the USA. Does anyone have an idea?

Roxy54, whom do you expect would be able to answer your question: what
percentage of our members were posting from overseas?

I'll venture to say not one single member could answer this question.

Only an Audiogon administrator could answer the question, and only if
Audiogon kept statistical records based on geographical membership, or if an
Audiogon staff member took the time to tabulate the results.

In short, a real answer to your question is highly unlikely.
