Hell hath no fury... - Thyrzul - 07-12-2012
' Wrote:Now I think that judging someone by the level he can speak a foreign language is racism...I think his concern is not about judging the level of speak, but the level of will to care about how correct the grammar is one decides to use. One may fail at proper English, but one may or may not care enough to wish to correct his words, even if it means asking for help. There is a difference between being good and wanting to be good at something.
And racism is judging somebody by his race. It has nothing to do with language knowledge.
Little offtopic: If we are at languages, let me note that the word "madamouiselle" DOES NOT EXIST, not just in French, nowhere. Not in this form at least.

What are the virtues of syntax, wait, Syntax? As a name?

American should have an upper-case A.

I thought it was the British, not the English.

I, am not a native english speaker, and the english classes I had in school, suck a huge potato... I thank God for subtitled cartoons instead...
Now I think that judging someone by the level he can speak a foreign language is racism...
You racist! Y u no love pur spiking engrish!:P
It is indeed sad to see the Old Woman being butchered, but, in most cases, the butchering is not intended.
Not the butcher is the guilty one... You love the woman, I love it too, but we force others to love her, so
it is not really their fault... It is at a point since they play a game that requires the language... but... gah..
Complicated...
The real reason is an awful and boring politic-social discussion that I am not willing to start. And after all, who
put the old woman to stick her tail everywhere?:P
I tend to ignore the mistakes if they are done on a game forum... I try to think positive, maybe they simply don't speak that language very well, but they try... and if I can understand what they mean, it is enough for me..
But, I still get your point, and I sustain it... Still, in the same time I sustain the guilty too, it is not 100% their fault..
I think that Thyr'zul got most of that answered in his reply. I also did offer to assist anyone who comes to me with their posts by proofreading them.

Let's just all agree to learn Esperanto or something, so that we're all on the same level.
