         | Personally, I don't enjoy reading that as much. The commentary
         | seems a bit reminiscent of XKCD #406, and has what I read as
         | tinges of racism.
         | 
         | The characterization of some of these senders as lazy is simply
         | not true: I once engaged with a student who wrote like some of
         | those examples and was trying to contribute to a FOSS project I
         | ran; he turned out to be an excellent contributor who nobody
         | could reasonably say was lacking in either skill or effort. It
         | is usually just a combination of shyness and excessive respect
         | that produces these 'lazy' requests. And, frankly, using words
         | like 'ur' and 'thx' are how some 100% native speakers of
         | English write. (The ever-relevant XKCD strikes again, #1414
         | this time.)
         | 
         | I consider myself to be extremely lucky that my native language
         | happens to be the _lingua franca_ of the computer industry if
         | not the world, and even luckier that I don 't have any
         | impediment such as dyslexia that would hinder me capitalizing
         | on that good fortune to the full.
         | 
         | And finally, yes, most of what one receives online is spam.
         | Lots of spam, in fact, but when someone makes as least as much
         | effort to contact me _individually_ I try to make at least that
         | much effort in return.

         | Sorry, Sounds more like the blog author is kind of a douche:
         | "No, your not allowed to use my code from a GitHub repo for
         | your university projekt chat bot: your coding standards are not
         | up to mine. And btw. Your English sucks"

         | Making fun of poor english is always a sign of stupidity (smart
         | people can be idiots).

       | A good practice is to tag the title with the year of the article
       | (in this case, 2018), when it is not from the current year.

       | ages, this was a nice introduction.
