"...accentuate the positive, eliminate the native, and don't mess with
Mr. in-between."
Your written English is very good, and my skills at languages other than
English are abysmal. Yet I hope I may be helping when I point out that
the usage of "accentuate" in your last sentence is not a way I would
ever use it. It may be dictionary correct, but my guess is that
virtually no native English speaker would use it that way.
