Non-English Language Section In Code Project
-
There is also a cultural difference in regards to humour. The European/American slant (predominantly Anglo-Saxon) leads to a universality in culture, humour, outlook and disposition. (Alas the same cannot be said for spelling!) So whilst the GIT is predominantly English by language, it is not English in interests. (Except for Cricket).

True, although not entirely true for Australia where I live.

Just realized that there is a non-English language section in Code Project (it's the last one in the main menu on the left side). I have never noticed it before, it could have been there a long time. There are currently two items in the section, Chinese topics and Indian topics. Most of Chinese topics are in Mandarin or Cantonese, can't tell. As expected. All Indian topics are in English, which is again hardly suprising. Strangely, Indian section is listed under 'non-English' section. It might be worth changing the title in that menu ...

The thing about the Chinese section is that five minutes after you post a message, you feel you need to post another one.

Dear Sir, That was very tactfully handled please. Kind Regards, I went the flame war way.

Although their interest in Cricket has nose-dived over the last two weeks for some reason. ;)

That's the problem with all these extra words, you can never tell if you're being insulted or not.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

It depends on the situation. If you are getting stuff like this in an email from a call center employee or from a counterpart in India, you are not being insulted. Here on CP, yes you are! :-D

Ok, there might be locality element there, but it's still English, isn't it?

Not most, maybe a few. A large number of Indian CPians do not speak or understand Hindi (including myself).

If you head over the GIT, I would tell you in about 40 posts (all using abusive language), they never really had any ability at all! :mad:

The Canadians are the worst. They haven't figured out yet if they are British or American and so use a mix of both! And try to hide this lack of verbal originality by adding eh to everything. :-D

Then this page [^]may be a useful guide for the non-Indians amongst us. Surprisingly, most of the items mentioned are also in quite common usage in the UK, though many do sound slightly old fashioned.

Yeah, but again that assumes that all Indians use English derived from a Hindi grammar base. Depending on your Indian native language, your adaptation of English will change. It's kinda like how here in the States, everyone assumes there is a single British accent when that's not true. Similarly Indian accents/English-dialects are many in number. And in India, people from different states mock the English accents used in other states. Yeah, we love each other out there! :-D
