For a lot of people in this forum, english is not our own language, so we can find very hard to understand you, when you use very informal expressions, that are very familar to you, but unknown for us. I think, we'll be very grateful if you only use formal english, so that we can understand everything.
Thanks

I understand what you mean...

sorry, I am writing as I my thoughts passes through my mind

but feel free to ask if you are not sure to understand

My 2 cents:

Writing clearly helps a lot while answering questions or even while holding a decent conversation.

One has to keep in mind that the users are not just "Native English Speakers." To me words can go here and there it doesn't really make a difference unless I am not able to understand anything about it, which has never happened. So if your reason to leave is that you don't want to be in a community of people who are from different countries, having different native languages, different cultures...then I am not sure where you are going with this. Your reason is understandable but your post about leaving is kiddish here unless you had another reason.

I am not sure if i would even welcome you if you have an attitude like that. If you have another reason to write about leaving the forum then i apologize.

Otherwise, you know better now, I hope.

Have a nice day! :)

I think as well that we should help us together, means
if there is polish guy who posts a polish message, I can translate
it to english ;) for the rest...

the same if you understand spanish, arabic, african...

As you can see we&#39;ve had no luck stopping UKMan from posting garbage so far (heh ) so wanting everyone to post &#39;Formal English&#39; (Wazzup wit dat? Wat id dat? ) is impossible, and unfair as some peep&#39;s aren&#39;t as well versed in the English language as other&#39;s are.

Sniper.

Unfortunately this is impossible to control - as you may understand, there are thousands who are members and all from different country&#39;s.

I find that very hard to believe.

In fact I am absolutely certain that there are at least half a dozen regular posters who are all from Scotland.

There are at least 1,627 from Australia, or it might be 3, I&#39;m not sure.

How can you substantiate this preposterous claim of your&#39;s. You are normally such a balanced individual, have you perhaps run mad at all.
