I'm not. I notice there are lots of Idians, Filipinos and Chinese on mylot. So I wonder if there are more native English speakers. So are you a native English speaker? Do you think there are more native speakers or others? Are there incorrect uses of English on mylot that bother you?

My dear friend, you don't have to be a native English speaker to speak good English. I am Indian, English is not the language of any of the states of India. English is completely a foreign language for Indians, but I speak and write good English. Most of the Indians speak English and a lot of them speak good English becuase we want to do business with native English speaking countries and let the money flow to our country.
Since I am not a native English speaker, I am very careful about my English. Yes, sometimes I get annoyed by the incorrect uses of English, but I think mostly people use good English in mylot.

Isn't English one of India's official languages? Your English is excellent by the way. I've been learning English for several years, but I spent most of the time preparing for boring exams or reading textbooks. When it comes to writing, I really cann't do it well enough~ I think there aren't much native speakers here..
