Sure, but frankly, I've heard plenty of people speaking the most flawless King's English who didn't make any sense at all.

re: translated math papers: haha we've all been there. Once I had to read a bunch of 70's-era papers from Russian Mathematicians. The translators, bless their hearts, I'm sure knew everything there was to know about Dickens and Dostoevsky, but it was clear they had no clue what the math was all about :-)

Oh well, Math is the universal language, right? chuckle
