Title: This forum and english
Post by: Hemmi on September 28, 2008, 23:07:49
Am I the only active user on this forum that has not english as native language, if so why?
Most of the other users disappear or just lurk around.
Am I the only nordic member? nobody from Denmark, Norway, Sweden or Finland?
I'm curious  :P

HI Hemmi,

We have at least one Swedish member but can't remember who it is at the moment...

Nick from Belgium is fairly active sometimes and I'm sure there are other non-english  members who are reasonably active as well (Although not quite up to your standards...)

I guy I work offshore with sometimes - from Aberdeen - is called John, but I always call him "Ken" anyway - it drives him up the wall.  Lucky he is a good guy and not like Begby from train spotting or I'd probably be glassed by now...

Most of our "other than English main language members" do a great job of communicating on this site... I wouldn't be game to go to the Spanish or Korean site and try and contribute in their language...  :shock:

Funnily enough, tiny, I passed my "O" levels (educational certificates at 16 years old) at top grade "A" in French, German, Spanish and Latin.

I failed English Literature and English Language as "U" (meaning "unclassified"). It was the talk of the school.

But that was in 1975  :lol:

Oh and to answer your question.. I recently rang up a German supplier of "NuWave Ovens" and requested a return and reorder, entirely in German. You don't lose it, although my Latin hasn't come in handy recently

well i wouldn't have been so cool if i didn't have an i30 now would I :))) ) but that's because only a small group of romanians act as our ambasadors outside our country/ that small group consists of some good people who have succeded on their own, and,unfortunately,mostly gypsies who commit a ****load of crimes.
