Expect nothing.  This forum is a pretty good simulation of the real world.  We don't live in a world where everyone is white, has a perfect American East Coast accent, has never had an injury, has no disabilities or diseases, is of the same age, or thinks the same way.  We are in a culturally diverse, multi-personalitied world where you might not be able to understand something at a first glance, but after studying or listening to that something, the issue would then elucidate itself - do this enough, and you can understand anyone at first glance or holler.

Are you daft?  I was offering a finalizing to an argument that was futile for you richards.  Get used to dealing with people you can't understand, it will only get worse in life, unless you live in the middle of the US or Canada, where everyone is white and speaks the same dialect.

Sorry, you don't live in the mid united states, I can't understand you too well.

Oh that's too bad.  Well, when you are done watching Nascar, and finished off your last sixpack, go to a school not infested with your incest-ridden classmates and gain some multicultural, multiethnic, multilingual tolerance.

What if he is younger or he is from a different country which it's main language is not english? Not everyone on the Blockland Forums lives on the USA or UK and older than 16-18 to have a "perfect" grammar.

Then that's understandable, but if it were ME, I wouldn't, for instance, go to a Korean forum without knowing how to speak Korean well.

But the foreigners here are "speaking" (taken loosely because this is typed, not said) very well.  They are typing in English, with our QWERTY keyboard, in possibly a different sentence structure than us, and are still completely understandable.  That is a lot of translation from their original language to English, and they are doing a damn good job of it.  If you think it is hard for yourself to understand what they are saying, switch it around, and image how it would be for them to understand you.  They are almost always able to understand, other than those few times when they ask for the meaning of a word.

If you need help understanding someone, just look at the nouns, then verbs.

Who the forget are you talking about, the first language of virtually everyone here is English. That includes OP.

I never said I couldn't understand him.

The same concept applies though. It doesn't matter that English is a hard language; anyone can learn it and speak it well. You make it seem like just because they're foreign, they're unable to learn. Its just like if an American learned Spanish or Japanese. Of course they have different sentence structures, but if you work at it, you'll be able to speak it as fluently as the Spanish/Japanese themselves.

There are people who are in their twenties and can speak 15+ languages fluently. Being foreign doesn't mean anything.

[Gen. Hothauser]

I never mentioned the OP in my discussion on disregarding people's foreignness or ethnicity as inability, it was a general argument made towards:

Sorry, you don't live in the mid united states, I can't understand you too well.

however you type his name.  He was being a douche towards Master because of his difficulty with complete grammar, and I was trying to explain to him that more people out there will be like Master, that will be foreign, of different ethnicity, have different disabilities, etc.  I was trying to convince him not to make arduous comments towards people on the forums just because they don't grammar as well as he does.

That was sarcasm, by the way.

Excuse me? I didn't say (type) a single word to the guy. I replied to you, saying that it's inappropriate to suggest we abandon all rules of grammar simply because we happen to be on the internet.

Excuse me? I didn't say (type) a single word to the guy.  I replied to you, saying that it's inappropriate to suggest we abandon all rules of grammar simply because we happen to be on the internet.

[edit]-snip-

Sarcasm doesn't work in typing unless you indicate that it is sarcasm.

If you actually read and understood what I wrote, you'd see that I never expressed any suggestion toward abandoning grammar.  I was implying that some people aren't apt at typing due to disability, different ethnicity or language, etc., and that you should not prosecute them for such.  You can tell the difference between lazy, and inept.  Ineptitude is mixing up verb and noun placement, leaving out plural form modifiers, forgetting prepositions, whereas laziness is 'typin lik dis R u undrstndin me'?

I blame autocorrect - was supposed to be arsinine.

[edit]

We need a .gif for a man screaming into the sky the name of his enemy - autocorrect.  Play on words between arse and asinine, something I like to do a lot.  Sorry for the confusion.

[¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦]

This right here. Why? Why did you ever bring this up?
Believe it or not, the majority of us are from english speaking countries, and this probably includes the OP in this thread.
If someone's post is terriably spelt or makes no effort towards using grammar I'm going to assume it's due to lazyness.
And when I do so, I don't give two forgets that there might be a person or two on the forum who happen to not have english as their first language. When and if that's a problem they'll probably tell us.

This has gone entirely off topic. Go post in Drama if you want to continue this pointless argument.
