>> I admire people who participate here even though they didn't grow up speaking English at home.

I concur. It is, however, why I wish that there was a side-channel specifically for notifying someone of grammar or spelling issues. It'd be useful to let people know if they're using non-standard constructions without the notification being public. Email would be overkill for this purpose.

Something like TL;DR ... maybe ESL (English Second Language) at the top would work.

Though starting that practice means someone will eventually come on hacker news and complain that putting ESL at the top is redundant because they can tell from the writing that the person has English as a second language ;)

That's not a sidechannel. That's adding noise to the main channel.
