Not essential to be a native speaker, just a competent one. I needed email ports enabled on a VPS recently and the hosting provider's representative in the Philippines had no problem sorting it out. (I assume they make you talk to a person for this as an anti spammer measure)
Use of 'acknowledges' like this is established science rather than an activist position.
I also note 'this term, now preferred', which is an example of creating an in group that has its own terminology. IT has a version of that: expiring certifications in tools that haven't meaningfully changed since you last took the exam.
I prompted ChatGPT "write a satirical song about AI using the structure of 'Be Prepared' by Tom Leherer". It came back with something entirely on point but occasionally with bad rhyme and meter. Since Tom Leherer often did the same as part of the joke, its hard to know if ChatGPT is flawed or brilliant in this. It also did not follow the rhythm of the original very well.
If you know what you're doing, have excellent attention to detail, first class keyboard skills, not being rushed by the boss. The other day I noticed some implausible numbers in an Excel sheet. The person who built it had selected an incomplete range in a calculation. Easily mistake to make and I blame their employer for making them use Excel when they are more than capable in SQL and other proper tools.
