I think it's a little ridiculous to leave it when at least she takes the
initiative to do something. Sure - Brenda does not speak English as a native
language. You are free to fix it up with your perfect English intuition. It is
a wiki after all. Perhaps she might help you with your good, yet not so perfect
chinese? :)

Seriously. I have learnt several languages. I know how hard it is to speak a
foreign language. It is damned hard. It's even harder when the language is of
a completely different language school (i.e. European vs. Asian languages). The
fact that someone can communicate as well as Brenda can, in a foreign language,
is simply amazing. It is a mountain of work. Everyone should be as supportive as
possible. It is no easy task. The fact that English is just the de-facto one
for Open source, should not mean it has to be perfect and written by natives.
If it can be understood then it has done a great job already. I clap my hands
for Brenda and say "keep going" and thumbs up for making such a good job of it!

做得好！

:)
