American languages : Mingo, Cherokee, Navajo , Sioux, Lakhota, Dakota
Which one of these American languages should one use here ?
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Originally posted by bluff actually I have to agree with GP. Everyone on this board, wether or not american, has had some education in writing and reading English, and since English grammar is very simple, this should be sufficient to avoid most, if not all, of the mistakes made here.
1. Sentences usually start with a capital letter.
2. "Whether", not "wether".

The day you can manage to speak real English and spell correctly will be the day you qualify to comment on others. "Your" language is borrowed and has been hacked to hell - you don't speak/write English and no person needs to show "some respect" for this "achievement".
At least some of those who make the effort to speak even broken English probably know serveral other languages. How many can you speak apart from that perverse attempt at "English"?

People using English as a second language have my utmost respect.
When learning a second (or more) language, it is very important to be able to put over a meaning, and if the listener has empaphy, he will understand what is meant.
Most languages have 3 simple tenses - Correct English has sixteen - Add to those all the passive tenses, then the language becomes quite difficult to learn because the user has nothing like it in his/her own language to translate to.
As for the internet being invented in America...
Actually it came from Switzerland - And the http was invented by a British telecom employee.
Just checking my maps now to see if either are in America!

That's indeed sad.
To the whole discussion...it's always easy to say to foreign folks: "Learn the language..." but what's with you?
Can you speak/write german/french/spanish properly?
Now you tell me that you don't need to speak one of these languages because you're not on a foreign forum...but think about it - most of the foreign ppl here are writing half-way proper english.

I agree. However, don't start another fucking hate thread. Papuchino, or whatever his screen name is has posted enough of this shit. Americans know were hated already.
Originally posted by mikexod You have no clue what you're talking about. I'm European and believe me, I probably make less mistakes than some of the guys here. Look at all Americans that can't spell and then talk about foreign webmasters.
Plus this is a message board and not a college paper, so if you can't handle the mistakes then get off the board.
you forgot "can't add" and "can't think for thenselves"
Originally posted by sarah_webinc I have had people ask me that a number of times when they find out I moved to the UK. They want to know if they speak English here. That would be a fair question if I moved to Wales, I suppose.
I've had Americans ask me if I drove from Australia to the USA for my holiday.

Get off the internet, Americans invented it. Get rid of all of the lights in your house. An American is responsible for that too. Shall I continue?
