The Importance of Getting it Right

So I just received a message that a fellow rugby player won't be helping me train the local kids because...  Well read it for yourself:

'Because my wife is decease.'

Now I really, really, really, really, really hope she hasn't died.  His level of English, and my level of Japanese means that I have sufficient cause to suspect he might have meant to write something else.

If ever there was a time for accurate communications, now is it.
