It can.  There are intelligent and respectful ways of asking a 
question - as well as good ways to make the choices surrounding the 
asking of the question (such as emailing a dozen people privately and 
continuously badgering them, while posting to the list in parallel) - 
despite the encumbrance language differences pose.

I've seen people with far, far worse English than our 
"opensourcesolutions" friend interact in a way that reflects much more 
common sense, awareness, respect of the audience, and a generally 
cultured way of seeking assistance that dignifies a response.
