Don't tell people that they didn't read your question exactly if you can't
write proper English.

Item 5 of the Ubuntu Code of Conduct says:
"When you are unsure, ask for help"

If you have problems with English, ask a translator to help you. If not,
than you will have to accept that you will be misunderstood if you don't
ask very precise questions.
You could also ask on a local language list.

The mailing list software is Mailman and that is covered by some version
of the General Public License.

When speaking about the mails *on* the list, you're not asking about a
license but about copyright and fair usage. This is a *public* mailing
list. It is automatically published and republished on several websites.
That means that you can also republish it wherever you want, but you
cannot claim exclusive rights. You cannot forbid that someone else will
also publish something that you found on a public mailing list.
