Yep. We have a real habit of shortening words. You could say that we have butchered the english language at times. We also have a habit of adding an o onto peoples names. Richard or Dick would become Richo or Dicko and so on.

Absolute rubbish while drunk. :doh:

[Wulfmann]

Well as a Yank I must confess; Mein English ist nicht so gut und mein Deutsch is sehr schlecht aber mein Griechisch is besser.

Most people do not care about poor grammer or spelling unless they are in a debate with you and are losing that deabte. Then they condesend to anything to divert from their weak argument.
It is a sure sign of weakness!!!

[Wulfmann]

Well, with "other" a close second to English perhaps we should start this over and add a few more to get a guage on these other tonques.
Lets add Greek, Hebrew, Swedish and Finnish and a few others that are suggested.

There can´t be more than 8 poll options...

[Stiebler]

I suppose everyone who has so far responded realises that this poll is highly biased by being opened while Europe is awake?

Expect to be deluged by "English" when North America wakes up. This is, after all, an American site.

However, since there *are* many contributors to this forum whose native language is not English, I consider it essential that everyone spells properly. Hard enough to follow a foreign language anyway, without the difficulty that the words cannot be found in a dictionary.

I can always make a good guess as to the age of the writers in this forum, by how well/badly they spell.

No, English really.

It's grammar

I grind my teeth every time I see poor spelling and grammar, especially when the person posting is from Britain or America. On the other hand I am very forgiving when the poster does not speak English as his native language. I fight temptation every day, and wanting to correct people has nothing to do with winning or losing arguments...I'm just a jerk (but I try to hide it).

I've always found it quite interesting how Ubisoft games reach international gaming communities really well. I used to post on the IL-2 forums quite a bit and there was a HUGE international population with that game. Granted the game was developed by a Russian team. I really liked discussing things with people from other countries. You get a whole other perspective on issues and gaming.

[irish1958]

How many video games have such a broad national base?
My Language is English, and being an American, I can't really converse in any other language. I have a bit of creole (Hatian) French, if you keep it very simple and slow.

[Kaptan Tommy]

It's English here in the Silver State (and anyplace else I happen to be). :)

[DerKaleun]

I have two native languages. Born in Poland living in Germany since the age of 5.

[XXi]

Polish is my motherlanguage, but there are quite few more I use, at better or worse level, with better or worse results...

[CCIP]

You'd have to be careful with the definition of "Native"

My first language is Russian, but I'm pretty much equally proficient in both. Slightly better in conversational Russian, likewise slightly better in written English, but the differences are so minor that noone has been able to tell that English isn't my first language and I didn't start speaking English until I was 14 - unless I told them. :hmm:

[AO1_AW_SW_USN]

I speak Redneck since I'm a native Texan.

Redneck a form of English that lacks sophistication and grace.

Example: "Ya'll fixin' ta go down thare and eat them taters? I'll go down yonder thare a bit later."

[jasondef]

Pig Latin


Y'all need to quit saying "Finnish"!! I'm typing as fast as I can!

[jasondef]

"Russian" you say? What's your hurry?

[jasondef]

"Ya'll fixin' ta go down thare and eat them taters? I'll go down yonder thare a bit later."
In redneck speak, what's the plural of "ya'll"?

Answer: "All ya'll"

[AO1_AW_SW_USN]

"Ya'll fixin' ta go down thare and eat them taters? I'll go down yonder thare a bit later."
In redneck speak, what's the plural of "ya'll"?

Answer: "All ya'll"

Easier way of saying "You all". That's why we here in the South feel that ya'll up there in the North and all the other English speaking folks takes to long to say something.

[GOZO]

Swedish as native lingo.

Speak English & German & some Danish too. (Grew up in "the occupied territories" of Skåne known as Scania :D )

[syneasthesia]

Dutch (native) and English (I live with 3 Polish and two Greek guys) for me! :sunny:

[JScones]

Hey, where's the Land of my Fathers????

I speak English, enough Welsh to just get by in North Wales, and enough Vietnamese to haggle that few extra dong off the price...

[bsalyers]

I was born and grew up in Oklahoma, but here in what some call "occupied Mexico", it pays to have a smattering of Spanish.

And of course, in nearby Beverly Hills, they only speak "cash", a tongue with witch I am not familiar.

;)

[Keelbuster]

I speak the Queen's English with frequent lapses into Southern American Male. Haven't yet learned to speak female and can barely follow basic conversation in that tongue.

As a former English teacher, I am easily aggravated by correct poor spelling and grammar, but try to refrain from correcting it. (BTW - to all my fellow Southerners: I think it's spelled "y'all" not "ya'll" since it's a short form of "y(ou) all" not "ya all." :D)

Cheers, y'all. :)

[Luuraja]

Wow what an interesting topic!

My native language is Estonian.
Btw, here the language is mother's and land, country is father's. 'Emakeel' (motherlanguage) and 'isamaa' (fatherland). And we have no difference of sex in language - no difference between 'he' and 'she'.

I can communicate in Russian much on same level - studied Russian since age 9 and came through Soviet Army (which was unexpectedly good experience). Speaking language is littlebit rusty (here's no person to speak with), but read-write is OK.

About English - I'm a product of Soviet school and all-around system. English was teached sketchy (briefly) since I was 12. But the 'evil western influences' did their:
:rock: & :rotfl:

[Boris]

I speak German and Australian... If I speak German in Germany they think I'm from Hamburg, and Australians wouldn't have a clue I wasn't born here... so I can't really say which one's more native (I wasn't born in germany either).

[Skweetis]

I am first and formost a native speaker of all dialects of the complex and almost lyrical language of "Drunkenese".

Since college, and the birth of my son however, I now predominantly speak English.

Once in a while I get to speak "Drunkenese" with old friends.

[Fitz62STG]

Primarily English, but I slip into Sailorese quite often. In fact really have to watch when I go home on leave around my mother. :lol:

[jaxa]

It's not important what language we speak, because we speak about the same - the best uboot sim ever created. :up:
It's about 60 years after 2nd WW and we can enjoy this game everybody - Allies or Axis. I'm Polish, probably the worst German's enemy nation during 2nd WW (except Russian), but now we (German, Polish and many other players) are one group - fans of SH3. Isn't it fantastic?

[UBootMann]

It never ceases to amaze me how well all you international chaps get along so well in English. I can't imagine how it would be if games came out in say,Russian or Chinese and we were then posting in a forum in those languages. I will never, ever give a non-english speaker a hard time in a forum for posting in broken English, just the fact that he or she has gone to the trouble of making the attempt in the first place fills me with admiration.

OTOH the English native speakers who butcher their language in writing sometimes will get on my nerves. The missuse of "your" and "you're" always irritates for example.

As a Canadian Eh!, I speak English with a little French on the side.

[jaxa]

UBootMann - my English isn't perfect and this forum is very good language school for me. I know that native English speaker may irritates about stupid mistakes, but I'll be happy for any corrections.
English is modern Latin and using it I can speak to many people from all the world at this site.
But if any of you want speak and learn Polish I can help :D

[Redbear]

English here. You'll never hear me being critical of someone's broken English. I studied a little German, which helps with SH3, but that's about it. So I am always sure that the other person's English is better than my version of their language! :yep:

[McBeck]

Native - Danish!

[uhu]

Hungarian! :yep:

(plus german, plus english)

[Khayman]

English, with a Glaswegian (i.e. Glasgow, Scotland) accent.

[Happy Times]

So, looking at the poll, it seems atleast the players of SH3 are mainly non anglophones. Congrats on Neal for running a truly international site. :up:
