Our little instance is closing to 6 months of operations and it occurs to me I never really asked for some open feedback from our peeps. So I wanted to start a discussion to see your concerns and comments in general. So tell me, in the context of the divisions by zero, what bothers you, what pleases you, what would you like to see improved.

Feel free to share your thoughts about anything.

Read carefully next time ๐Ÿ˜…

For non-native speakers or possibly people with disablities it should be worded differently. At least I had to do a triple-take at that

Scrolling through the thread, I think that enough native speakers with no disabilities have found the wording confusing, to the point where there's no need to appeal to non-natives and those with disabilities to prove it is just confusing word choice.

As a non-native (who also misunderstood the sentence at first), I wouldn't want people to adapt or simplify their language for my sake.

"As a non-native (who also misunderstood the sentence at first), I wouldn't want people to adapt or simplify their language for my sake." That is very true for me too
