English for non-native speakers on DeviantArt

Hello,

For my term paper I am investigating the use of English as a lingua franca (contact language) on DeviantArt, being interested in how non-native speakers of English are dealing with interacting in a English-dominated area and how others may have reacted to this.

To have qualitatively high results, I would ask you to only answer the following questions if English is a foreign language to you. If you are a native-Speaker of English and would like to comment on this Topic you can go to my DeviantArt Profile (https://possibly-wrong.deviantart.com/) and write me a note or a comment on my journal about this topic.

In advance, I would like to thank everyone who is willing to hep me with my term paper!

Have fun!!

Do think of changing your way of writing in English now that you know that? (maybe not trying to stick to the norms of English too precisely)
