I would never have guessed this. I'm a very picky grammarian -- I am
the designated proofreader in our office -- and in my brief scan of the
documentation you've produced, I found nothing to complain about. My
hearty congratulations on this effort.
George Bernard Shaw did assert that the most precise English speakers
are non-native speakers.
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian, the Greeks are taught their Greek.

There are even places where English completely disappears.
In America, they haven't used it for years!
