Well...I am a vietnamese.
English is my third language and I think it sucks.
There many kids , who are around 8 - 13 years old , playing isro.So they don't have english-skills.
While playing isro for a long time,I have noticed that a lot of turks cannot speak english.Sometimes I've written "english,please.",they've answered with "f** you !"etc.
Sad to hear that.But there are also nice turks.I also have turks on my friendlist.They can speak a little bit english.Well,I can also speak a little bit turkish ( My friend is a turk - reallife ).


If it sucks so bad then do us a favor and don't type in it. you guys down America and our language yet you buy our products and "learn" our crappy language. Get over yourself guys, you are to funny :P

most likely why most of the 'nationality' threads have been locked.

the people who started the first one may have just wanted to know who was from their area so they could play at the same time or whatever with them, but then it just turned into a lame copycat of it over and over. then now this with USA vs world thing. i find it kinda funny people do it just to invite flaming... then question why the threads get locked heh.

So don't be surprised if ppl have bad english its only arrogance that made it the "international" language and its difficult to learn. A better question would be why can't you understand German or Spanish or Turkish or Dutch. :roll:


How did arrogance make it the "international language"?? It just is ... deal with it

Why can't you understand Turk/Deutch/etc ... hmmm choices are:
1/ everyone learns one language for international purposes
2/or everyone learns 146 languages ..............

Let you make the decision there, btw don't really give a **** if the one lang is turkish, as long as it's only one, but it would seem that in this world the "one language" is english

When did I ever say I get mad?
I just get slightly annoyed and ignore them.

and what I mean by incomprehensible is NOT "wtf, wts, wtb, ty, etc."
Of course I understand those, i've been playing mmorpgs for years.

I'm talking about, "miijiiajfi???!!!" (??wtf) or...
someone might say, "party there you!" so then I party with him, but then he declines the request..so then I tell him to make one himself but he doesn't and keeps repeating some different sentences with party in it...

I know, American is a nationality, however I created the poll just for my own benefit just cause I was curious. Do you have a problem with that?

your wondering why people aren't all speaking english in an international game?

typical American mindset. I don't think most ppl realize how terrible the english language is. Its one of the harder languages to ever master because things are hardly ever spelled the way they sound, we don't pronounce all the letters in certain words, the same word can have 3 or more meaning, the same sounding word can be spelled 3 or more different ways, etc etc. Not to mention that most languages in the world use a different arrangement for nouns and verbs then we.....in our eyes if everything was translated directly into english it would be like talking to yoda.

So don't be surprised if ppl have bad english its only arrogance that made it the "international" language and its difficult to learn. A better question would be why can't you understand German or Spanish or Turkish or Dutch. :roll:


that pretty much sums up what i wanted to say

^ yep USA English is some hard shiz khna'mean (im gonna talk real cruddy ebonics, yes im black, well nigerian) it aint cool like that cause its all about the get go with the khnamean with the aint no love cuz, cuz i aint uderstood that shiz, with that jigga slice jiz you got me bro, sides that

whats popping wit the, other, N1gga! USA whoo aint the only country in the world bras, just keep the shiz rolling like you do xemnas, cause you be all up on that , mad fie typer! KHNAMEAN!

ha ha i understood that, and no i didn't make fun of ebonics, just saying its hard to understand i've had black freinds. But you have to admit it is funny that you get like your own word to describe the way you speak, i mean hell, whity got nothing other then idk hickspeak, how come we don't get a fancy word?

I live in Washington state, and I know a few people who live on the west coast or even in Washington. I usually wait until it's about 5-6pm to play so I usually meet people from the Americas.

As far as speaking English goes, I make you all look like you've just stepped off a ship at a port. 8)

Then again, I speak out loud with a thick western US accent. :banghead:
