I have the impression that the vast majority here are native speakers of English, sometimes it pisses me off a bit when some of them are grammar/spelling policing posts written by one of us non native speakers.

Some of us can tell when the poster is NOT a native English speaker and we give them a little leeway. But, it IS fun for some to take jabs at those of us who make mistakes and yet should know better. I never mind the spelling nazis correcting me. In fact I never mind being corrected when I am wrong. Nobody (including me :D ) is right all the time.

Normally on this forum we post in big bold letters "SARCASM!" for the benefit of the Americans that walk amongst us

From past experience I would guess the UK first and Australia second, followed by Americans. But, we do have a few Canadians about.

For sure. As is the usual majority amongst most Thailand-related forums. Dominated by Brits and Aussies. This might be truer reflection of the dominate Western residents {and visitors}, as well.

Seems like a lot of people living in Thailand. Also surprising is the number of Indian visitors. Hmmm...

Audience Snapshot

<BR clear=all>Based on internet averages, thaivisa.com is visited more frequently by males who are over 65 years old, have no children and are graduate school educated

from Alexa

&lt;deleted&gt; is graduate school?

I personally get very irritated by poor spelling and grammar from posters who are obviously native English speakers. Things like ''could of'' especially.

On the other hand I realise that they are probably expert at building house extensions and stripping down car engines etc., so tend to hold my tongue.
