Hello everyone. I just received a notification from a team member about how he felt bullied because another teammate criticized his bad grammar usage (despite the clarity of the post's content), not aware of the fact that he does not originate from an English-speaking country. This prompts me to write this thread, having realized how this issue could trigger catastrophic discord within the team.
I will just make it short and clear. I forbid excessive grammar critiquing in team interaction. If one's message is not clear and/or easy to understand, ask him to clarify it. If the clarification fails, wait for someone who can comprehend the content correctly. There is absolutely no reason to hurt a fellow teammate due to such matters. Furthermore, I am sure that I didn't pick anyone with such a horrible English commandment for the team. Thus, do not, under any circumstances, ridicule or insult a teammate's English through any means, including, but not limited to, direct post (sarcasm included), VM, or PM. I am not issuing any punishment, for I believe that there will not be a second case of bullying happening in the future.
Thank you for reading.
