Short sentences and simple words are usually the best for speakers of English as a foreign language (except for latin names of plants, etc. which are universal). Also, avoid idiomatic expressions. -----Original Message----- From: Jane McGary Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2016 7:21 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society Subject: [pbs] Website comments At the PBS board meeting this morning we talked a little about the PBS website. I'm one of the people who answer questions that visitors to the site ask. Sometimes the questions are from visitors who do not know much English, and they ask how to join and similar things. We welcome comments from members of this forum who read English as a foreign language. Do you have suggestions about how we can make our website easier for people around the world to use? I also answer quite a few questions asking "how to buy the bulbs," but these come from all over the world, including the USA and UK. Apparently people get directly to the wiki via a search engine and misunderstand it as a sales catalog! Finally, thanks to all of you who have helped answer some of the questions I've forwarded to this list in the past.
