Re: And I wish peace in all the world, big pile of money and all such

Regardless of Pro, I find your grasp of English fairly impressive. I can't imagine ever being able to speak Russian as fluently. In many instances English (being the hybrid language that it is historically) is one of the most illogical languages you can learn. Also I believe that your English has improved and is improving as you play more and more.

Ignore the haters like Pro because, quite honestly, while the repurcussions may not be huge on the US peak time if 'foreigners'* stopped playing, I don't think I could handle a 10 person playerbase outside those times.

PS: Pro I agree you must at least have a basic level of knowledge of the English language to play CF (and some players have just about been borderline) but, if the basic knowledge is there then why not put the xenophobia on the back-burner and let them play? It will boost numbers and (hopefully) they will get better at English over time. Personally, I'm willing to try to understand some poor English for the numbers, I hope you would be too, particularly if they are good players.

*I use this term in the G.W.Bush sense - everyone not American.

I give you exibit A.

Pro January 01, 2008 12:25PM

Ok, I don't want to get into a pedantic war but

daurwyn(VIP) January 01, 2008 12:41PM

Your point?

Pro January 01, 2008 01:13PM

I thought I'd made my point

daurwyn(VIP) January 01, 2008 01:30PM

That actually assuages me somewhat.

Pro January 01, 2008 01:46PM

Mate, I sometimes wonder if you've even learned English. Let alone realise what it is to accomplish TWO languages.

Yhorian(VIP) January 01, 2008 12:37PM

Sorry, what is the relevance?

Pro January 01, 2008 01:17PM

Put another way, if I've mastered three languages - Finnish, Polish, and German I probably still couldn't read a menu in Mexico city

ExPaladin(VIP) January 02, 2008 11:04AM

If my mastery of the English language was better.
