I don't see the use of language like that as snobbery.. though I do consider it rude when people seem to have trouble understanding what you're saying and you do little to enlighten them. Worse so would be the rudeness if it became knowledge that you're only speaking in those terms to appear more intelligent or "better" than the person.
If it became the case to speak in terms or ways that no one can understand you means that you are intelligent, I might as well start speaking Cantonese with French, Russian, Spanish and English thrown in there for kicks.

I thoroughly agree with you. 4Para is hurting no-one writing the way he does and he always brings a smile to my face when I read his posts. I understand your concerns that some of our non-English members may not completely understand him, but I'm sure he's aware of that too. The guy is hurting no-one and if he chooses to post in that manner I say let him. |

Besides, both he and his posts are easy to ignore (well, except when others quote him) if it's such an issue.

Completely agreed Steve.
Also, I understand the problem where non-English members may not understand him.. but I speak English and I even have trouble understanding him. Added to the fact that the majority of the things he posts don't make sense nor do they contribute to the topic makes him a troll in a sense. I don't mean to call anyone names, but that is how I see it.

I mean, I hope it was a concious decision, as I did consider the possibility that he was a stroke victim and was unaware of the format of what he was posting. I hope we're not all getting amusement from that. I'd feel bad about that.

He's the only one on my ignore list, for no other reason than I have better things to do than decipher what he's writing, which, when I do, usually has nothing to do with the subject at hand... |

Well I remember when he came on this forum and spoke like a scotsman and had arguments with various people. Then probably decided to speak like that at some point. You can see it if you check his first few posts.

That's kind of you, but I think I overreacted a little as well.

I was once tempted to write in my native Geordie fashion but I doubt I'd be able to understand myself
