an international site is a site open for all nationalities from all around the globe , but on the other hand , such site should be based on an international language , a language that most of world's population can talk and communicate with .... nothing's better than English in this case . and as a none-native English speaker , I've had no troubles in this site since i signed up . How ya gettin on? Its been a coons age eh . I'll be haggin' for a fortnight since I just draged up. I was out for a rip the other night and a swamp donkey came outa the draw and about rubbed me out, good thing! its just an ought one but still. Probably hit the fjords for a bit and vegitate, maybe catch flipper out the passage, and you? Keep youe stick on the ice and Bobs your uncle

Why would you be on a forum when you don't speak the language? You wouldn't be able to communicate and join in. I find it rather self-explanatory that everyone speaks English. Normally speaking ppl with international, cultural interests, speak English as well. So what's the big deal? International to me means ppl from all nationalities are free to join and interact with each other. Would be a tad difficult if each would stick to his/her own language. And yes, you native speakers English are lucky b@**@rds cos you can basically go anywhere in the world without having to learn another language. Except Morocco. That didn't really work too well in English. Many Dutch forums you're not allowed to post an English text without Dutch translation. Sort of a similar thing. But I don't implement that rule on my forum. This is so true...not necessarily fair, but true. Esperanza didn't work, and yes the imperial pig language is the closest thing to an international language available. A bit funny Crystal, while in Holland I had an easier time understanding English spoken by the Dutch...than the FREEGIN ENGLISH! 
.....and sadly the grammar was better than most of the Americans I run in to.
Haha, guess you're a real Southerner 
Must admit I love BrE and I have a thing for Scottish accents, very sexy. I guess the Dutch' English is understandable, but their pronunciation is horrible :/ |

I notice an remarkable improvement in the written English of some out of town folks who post regularly. It's a good thing, and people here are pretty accepting when they see effort in the OP. I'd get a lil annoyed if people started posting in Swahili
How could you get annoyed unless you spoke Swahili? If they drew a doughnut, a hyphen and an arrow pointed at you, I'd get it. But a bunch of what appears to be gibberish? Might be a compliment Annoyed as in... It'd be annoying to google translate 20 different languages, I didn't say i'd be "offended" I actually want to know what people have to say.

OUT FOR A RIP - OFFICIAL VIDEO: http://youtu.be/F-glHAzXi_M well , i meant simplified English
 I know what you meant, btw your's and Crystal's English writing is superior to mine.
Nobody talks like that in any one area, if I said that in a Canada nodoby would know half of what I said. If I said "how ya getting on"? People would say " what "?(which is a British expression as to say " how's it going (how are you?) Like a fortnight meaning 14 days. (Bobs you Uncle origin) means you can have anything you want. In 1887, British Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil appointed his nephew Arthur James Balfour as Minister for Ireland. The phrase 'Bob's your uncle' was coined when Arthur referred to the Prime Minister as 'Uncle Bob'. Apparently, it's very simple to become a minister when Bob's your uncle! Keep your stick on the ice (definitely Canada) if you have your hockey stick on the ice then you won't miss opportunity, to be ready/prepared; also to say keep your head up/ to stay in good spirits/ don't let things get you down. To " drag up" Origin; for a commercial fisherman to pull up his fishing gear. Slang;to leave some place or guit a job. Swamp Donkey is a Moose. Here is the simplified version,"casual English" How's it going? Haven't seen you around for a bit. I may be on here for a couple weeks as I left my last job. I was out for a drive the other night and a moose came up the riveen and onto the road and I just about crashed the truck glad i didn't hit him. Its just an 01 (2001) truck but I still don't want to damage it. May be planing a salmon fishing trip in to one of British Columbia ocean inlets and relax for a while. Stay positive (keep your chin up)and good things will come (the sky is the limit) Peace ~pony "How ya gettin on? Its been a coons age eh . I'll be haggin' for a fortnight since I just draged up.

Close enough! ...Curl your toes, as in keep them on your side of the border while getting as close to your "subject" as possible and stand up nice and straight in order to achieve a longer reach...Hahahaha!....You always manage to bring out the best in me Pony!...lmao...!!!

I notice an remarkable improvement in the written English of some out of town folks who post regularly. It's a good thing, and people here are pretty accepting when they see effort in the OP. I'd get a lil annoyed if people started posting in Swahili

Well, ya. We gotta understand what all these organized symbols mean, to understand. I think we are on the same page, actually. I think if we want to avoid translation through programs, then a site has to be created using visual symbols all humans can relate to: the sun, feet, boobs :) |

"Je suis une omelette au fromage."
I learned the above statement from American comic Steve Martin. It is the only complete sentence in French that I can say. |

Must admit I love BrE and I have a thing for Scottish accents, very sexy. I guess the Dutch' English is understandable, but their pronunciation is horrible :/ NO! Will not say I have a great command of the language at all. Mildly sufficient at best, but most of my colloquialisms are based in surf culture and are "intentionally" incorrect.
