Forum Moderation Guide: Managing Behavior: Language

This page is part of the Moderating Microsoft Forums series.

Microsoft forums are a global community, even when the language is English. People from all over the world create and answer posts in Microsoft forums. It is important for all who participate in forums to recognize that English may not be the poster’s first language. It is not the duty of a moderator to correct English or attempt to educate posters about the English language.

It is perfectly acceptable, however, to ask clarifying questions if the language is not clear and is impeding the understanding of what is being asked.
