    I think that culture is what separates us from the beasts with language only being a single facet of culture. Culture includes creative expression, traditions, order and literary and numeric systems. But a publication does require a professional air in order to be successful.

    A small bit of professionalism goes a long way.
    Agreed.

    When I receive emails from my bank or other professionals with whom I work, I lose any and all respect for them. I'm not a native English speaker and if I can put in minimal effort then so can others.

    Thanks for all the input guys.
    That quoted text is from issue one and as I already mentioned we have been congratulated on Issue 2 being much better.
    I know its not 100% here, but we will get there.

    Please can we keep this thread related to the topic at hand?
    I need another reviewer/blogger and everyone being negative about grammar is just derailing the thread.

    Ya, back to the topic at hand. The reviewer must have multi-platform capability (as in have a decent PC, a PS3, an XBox) or just one or two?

    Kry iemand wat in Afrikaans skryf. Hierdie is Suid-Afrika en meer mense kan Afrikaans ordentlik praat en skryf as Ingels....

    I beg to differ on that, most afrikaans people can understand and read english, but that number is sugnificantly lower for the opposite.

    I concur. I am a native Afrikaans speaker, but I dare say that my English is as good as if not better than my Afrikaans. Most of English friends can't speak two sentences of Afrikaans, but all my Afrikaans friends can speak English.

    What i actually meant to say is that it would be refreshing to read something written in afrikaans. Every bloody pc/gaming mag is 100% english!!

    Think about it..... Something that nobody else on earth does.
