For the most part, our IC is a fine man and English is a second language to
him, but he doesnt need someone "baby talking" him to explain
that WHICH HE CAN ALREADY READ FOR HIMSELF.

You arent translating anything for him, and if you were I could see your
purposes, but there is nothing in YOUR ENGLISH that is or is not any less
confusing than the OTHER ENGLISH being spoken here, you are treating the
man like he is dumb.

I have it on good authority that the man (Bin Li) is /NOT/ dumb, and you
arent giving him credit for such.. The authority that tells me this
converses with Bin Li all the time via another electronic means and I am
told he is quite capable of comprehending things for himself in English no
less.

Yeah, you translating English into English, pffffft.
