i really hate it when a couple of people of the same nationality start speaking to each other in their native language.
im not beining anti-language (wtf does that mean? :S ) but it really annoys me when people start havin a conversation in a different language, it makes me feel like they're tryin to hide somethin.

anybody agree with me?

agreed, they clearly kno english well enough, so they should speak it at all times...or take it to a site of their own language. especially since most of them look like ****** jibberish

Hey, then we can get rid of the mexicans, then the jews... :rolleyes:

I kind of agree that we should rule out speaking another language. But, we can have an alternative. If you want to speak another language, make it a must to have it in english too. We can be like canada, where everything has to be written in both english&french (in this case, any other language).

We can't force them not to speak their own language, but we can make them write the translation.

good idea, that'd be a pain in the butt tho to write like

'mihi nomen est chris'

'my name is chris'

for everything you write

^^ heh, that's latin, though. i don't think anyone here speaks that :lol: except for the ones that are in a latin class (like me).

anywho, most of us americans don't know any other language than english, so beings as how i think the majority on this site are american, i think we should keep it at english only.

there are many foreigners who already make a great effort to write their posts in english (such as t0tal, tuliketu, firefly, florian, s.w., and many others) and i am very appreciative of that. i kinda wish the others would follow suit.

even better:

"Mi llamo es Nathan"

translation:
"My name is Nathan"

I'm learning Spanish in high school, so... :rolleyes:

and yea, i think that if you do want to speak in another language, atleast try and translate it into english so everyone else can understand
