Other Nov 2

I'm a non-native, but I know how to write accessibility. Shouldn’t Proz.com staff pay attention to these things?

Atrociously-written poll question that can only have been produced by a non-native (or someone or something with zero feeling for language) making only one answer possible, surely?

Well, well Nov 2

Mr Google tells me that this question was extracted (badly) from here:

15. What is your opinion of the general quality of non-native English source speeches in terms of accessibility to meaning?

A question for EN natives Nov 3

Shouldn't that be "clarity of meaning"?
i.e.
What is your opinion of the general quality of non-native English source speeches in terms of clarity of meaning?

As for the question itself, there is no "general quality". There is a huge variation in individual cases. From few of those who speak better English than 90% of natives to those who you can understand only if you can recognise the patterns from their native language.
