Think Mike has hit the hammer on the head, or whatever.

I greatly admire those hams who are multi lingual. But only those
whose native language is English can generally get it right the first
time. ( and I know there are thousands of exceptions to this ) (
England and the United States are "world leaders" separated by a
common language ) Not the exact quote....

Simple way would be for the Contest sponsors to merely send "their"
translation to a US buddy, who could then correct the syntax and
spelling if necessary, and then return it.
And it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to do the same thing. And think
about how many versions of the rules could be posted using this idea.

And add emphasis on "spelling".
