I don't know whether I count as a non-native speakers or not now. I think the prose is fine, but I
don't like the comparison with "the north-eastern United States". I do like the way "innumerable

and in MIT.

Maybe you could mention SRFI. I constantly keep an eye on SRFIs. Most updates are directly put
into PLT SVN now, but the collection/srfi/doc.txt still says that this is a Schematics project.
