English as first language
-
People should have a little bit more understanding for us people that don't have english as our first language. WiB gets voted down just because of that! End rant jhaga --------------------------------- I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau, Walden, Conclusion, 1854
I haven't nor will i vote WiB down because of just that, but i refuse to have a little bit more understanding for you people that don't have english as your first language. Sheesh, you damn foreigners & your demands... :rolleyes: ;P

Many Germans know some English anyway, so you could probably work it out. ;p BW "In a world full of people, only some want to fly,Isn't that crazy?" - Seal

Being woman and foreigner is really not so easy here at CP. WiB is the only one that I can remember at the moment. Those English gals are not real foreigners.. :rolleyes: jhaga --------------------------------- I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

There seems to be a lot of anaonymous 1 posting for little or no reason. I would still like to see the person who put the first 1 vote on a message named. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

I tend to think of Americanized English as it's own language.

I never vote posts down because of poor English understanding. I understand that many members of CP don't have English as a first language and appreciate that they make an effort to use it. As long as I can understand the post, I vote it up or down as if it were in perfect English, and if I can't understand what they're saying I either ask questions to try to understand or I ignore it.

jhaga wrote: WiB gets voted down just because of that! No! WiB gets voted down for posting the wrong question in the wrong forum and then defending her act by saying that she already knew it was the wrong forum and that she'd get voted down :-) Anyway I was really confused why she did it, till you told me her gender. That made everything clear instantly... Nish p.s. for libs out there, the last sentence is 100% intended as humor ;-)
