One thing I really like about motivated non-native English speakers is that, of the ones I interact with at least, they write in clear full sentences. I should really become more Zen, but I can literally keep track in my head of when my friends start interacting in wider circles and start saying "u" and "ngl" etc. etc. It shouldn't really bother me but it does, writing good English is no slower than mocking (I think it's implicitly saying you don't care about what you're writing) the person on the other end writing full sentences (grumble grumble, working with older programmers has spoiled me in this regard)
