Ideally, our document should be reasonably easy to understand for native
or non-native English speakers. So, please keep posting if you find some
parts difficult.

Well. The document has been written by native speaker of (AFAIK)
Australian English. I myself (non-native speaker) had hard time
understanding some parts given my experience with American English. If
you observe some particularly tricky sentences, feel free to complain
here :) The goal of that document is to make things easier, not harder
for the reader.
Best,
