(This is what I was subjected to when I went house-to-house, selling waffle tickets for my school's fund raising effort. I went to a very high-quality Catholic boys' school in high school, which was located in the poorest district in town. Though intuition fees were extraordinarily high, it was in a bad disctrict, because they wanted to be known as di strict school.)

I don't care what language people post in. I live in a multi-cultural neighborhood so I am used to it. If it benifits Mingle to have multiple languages posted here I am cool with it. It might be a challenge for the Moderators but as long as what is posted conforms to the rules I say go for it.

I have never liked language Natzi's so I am pretty tolerant of people speaking what I like to call "American" which is pretty far from the "Queen's English" with various Native American, Spanish, German, Italian, French,"Russian", Asian word's, phrases, dialects, and slang thrown in. Most here can, if they try, pick up enough even with pidgeon English skills if someone is trying to communicate the heard or even demonstrated word.

Yes some "eliteists" exist but if someone rejects me because my grammer, spelling, vocabulary does not attain their standards in their language I figure their loss. I have friends who barely understand a word I say or vice versa but they know that their warm smile and friendly effort to be a good neighbor transcends language barriers. And because I know they would include/defend me I include/defend them.

A snob is a snob regardless of what language they are speaking so to me just good manners alone dictates trying to translate what you say to some degree to the predominant language of the host and so all invited guests feel included.

It puts me at a decided disadvantage if I am in the home/bussiness of someone that speaks a language I only marginally know so I am expanding my vocabulary and cultural understanding even at my "graying" stage of life. lol

Will say if I can't understand the people or they me I tend to vote with my time or dollars and take my bussiness elsewhere. A neighborhood store that refuses to hire a clerk that can speak enough English and produce a menu or prices in English (which is not my first language but is my predominate language) is going to be limited in the bussiness I do with them because I learned to cope in an English speaking country.

We have a neighborhood grocery that is predominately for the Asian community and with a little prompting and taking them English speaking customers they now have a larger influx of the elderly that used to pass them buy for the more expensive chain markets. It took a little coaxing on both sides but now they have a new "cross over" customer base that is very loyal. Seems that smiles and bargains always transend barriers.

Let's say, someone from Mexico doesn't speak English, lives in southern Mexico and would like to find someone within a 100 miles of his/her home.

They'd be outa' luck.

That would go for any other non-enlish speaking people in foreign countries as well.

PS

100% of the emails I have gotten from foreigners speaking English have been attempted scams.

I would guesstimate 99.9% of emails from foreigners to Americans are scams.

What guy or gal from, let's say, Nigeria or the Philippines has the money or the VISA to get them way over here to meet a hopeful match?

I don't mind this thread, but only because I welcome any opportunity to say something.

but... but you don't have to defend your reason for OP-ing this, because if you needed defending, unsuccessfully, then the Mad Dog Mod Mob would have taken it down.

But I must say, in addition, that there IS another website that caters to internationally speaking people, where the lever of English is attrocious. I forgot the name of it, but you can find some free sites, and check out the one with the poorest average English knowledge. It's different from here. Here people don't know English just like expected of the products of American Schools taught in English. On that site people don't know English coz they only have school knowledge of it, in a foreign country where they speak a non-English language.

Would be good reasoning, to say that Pilipino scammers would scam Pilipinas if they were allowed to use their own language, so they would leave us alone.

However, most scamming occurs in the name of transferring money from the scammed to the scammer, and that is impossible in-country in such countries as Nigeria or the Pilipines, where pratically the only person who has enough disposable income and thus who has money to be scammed out of, is the president. And scamming the president in those countries is most likely an uphill battle, against well-armed palace guards.

So, is posting topics in other languages acceptable.

Will them thar feriners who wants to look in their area be allowed to post topics in their language?

Eh?

Latcho divvus miro bors . Mandi Brandycr. Tu rooker romanes ? Cushti bok .

E dikwa sure ife a ga way ise?

Mola sso? Hehe

E dikwa sure ife a ga way ise?

I would say this means, in pig Chinese, "It's for sure that he's got a penis, if he is a male?" (First level translation: "His dick sure (assured) if he (in) a gay-way (or guy-way) is?")

Mola sso? Hehe

I would say this means, in pig Chinese, "More azzole?" meaning, a bigger azzole. "More azzole-ish. ;-) or like *

Latcho divvus miro bors . Mandi Brandycr. Tu rooker romanes ? Cushti bok .

Thus could be in true Romansh. Or else in Halanjian.


Wanna see a Chinaman frown, or furrow his brows, but he can only manage to do it on the left side? Watch: ;-(

Now, wanna see a Chinese girl blink or squint with only her LEFT eye? Watch: ,-)
