It'll be amusing when US contributors are a minority on en:, they'll

The real problem is the possibility of English-as-a-second-language speakers
(or third or fourth language) becoming a majority of users on en.wiki and
the impact that this would have on the basic quality of writing. It has already
becoming an issue in some areas of content related to India, where the prose
requires inordinate cleanup just to make it legible.
To be clear, I am *not* saying that these contributions should be
discouraged--only that they come at some cost.
