Funny enough, as a person whose native language is not English, The Register always went above my head. I knew it was meant to be snarky or funny, but it always left me stumbling and I never was quite sure if not the whole page was just an elaborate shitjoke.

As a non native speaker who has watched everything Monty Python and read everything Adams and Pratchett (in English, i mean they're translatable but it's a HARD job), I loved the old El Reg.

When they changed tone i just thought they got bought out and gave up.

As a Brit: Can I suggest this is not because your native language isn't English.... but is beacuse you are unfamiliar with our rather sly sense of humour?
