"...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.
