20+ to list......
Proper English IS quite difficult, especially when more than half of your family don't speak the language, and that would be my case.

Perhaps this thread should be title "Is proper negotiation really that difficult?" $81k for a C63 - The guy is a sucker - looks like he paid a Dealer Markup to be the first!

Were you born in England, or did you study English in England? I can assure you, "proper" English is spoken, written, and read in England, NOT in the United States.

GET THE POINT?

English it is not my first language and some times becomes difficult
Inglés no es mi primer lenguaje y algunas veces llega a ser difícil
Inglese non è la mia prima lingua e determinate volte diventa difficili
Inglês não é minha primeira língua e certas vezes tornam-se difíceis
L'anglais ce n'est pas ma première langue et quelques fois devient difficile
Englisch ist es nicht meine erste Sprache und einige Male wird schwierig

I received a letter with my Daimler dividend advice today instructing me how to get a German tax refund. It had several glaring errors, and not those made by people who should get some slack because English is not their first language. Daimler AG should be ashamed to send a letter like that to all American shareowners.

Investor relations are not their strong suit either. They sent an admission ticket to the annual meeting to my California home via Fed-Ex. It arrived 4 hours prior to the start of the meeting. Trouble here was both the meeting and I were in Berlin.
