English..? Please?

[Magoo!]

As RoadRunner so eloquently quoted - the rule on this server, since it IS an RP server, is to use English -ESPECIALLY in system chat.

Mmm... Right, another point of view scenario here.

Lets assume a Spanish dev team created the best Freelancer mod ever with the highest population density on the server. Their rule is, of course, to speak only Spanish in system chat.

Lets be honest, would you care? No, you're there for the awesome factor. Likely you'd get some friends with you to play with you and you'd roflrage in your little English group.

Thats something that really annoys me! For example, I have a Chinese teacher. Incidentally, from China. People treat her like she's stupid, because they can get away with cheating and she makes little American faux pas'. But they don't realize that she was normal in China and had everything that we had developmentally speaking. She had peers, she had tests and everything else. I'm sure she at least witnessed her fair share of cheating, but people still treat her as less intelligent.

Crikey, some of you are acting like the arrogant English speakers that make us look bad. i.e. "Learn you some English ya'll done foreign types!"

How about you learn some of their language and try to interact with them? No? Fantastic. If you aren't willing to learn and try and help them, what makes you think they'd be willing to try and communicate with you? They are no different, they just speak a different language.

And... This...

But when y'all are talking to me, boyos, yuse betta be usin' da Kings' Englitch...

Is indescribable. Englitch isn't a word - its not even a decipherable accent. Ya'll is Southern United States. Yuse is Chicago/Jersey/New York (all of those accents use it) and... Well, betta should be be'a, but "be usin' da King's English" was at least recognizable as Cockney.

Right now, Armageddon (-Edit- And Errant) seem to be the ones who best understands this level of... Understanding. Most of you have posted something commending anyone who tries and offering questionable judgements of those who ask you to leave them alone, but some of you...

Some of you do the rest of us no favors with stereotypes.
