Like if I was to join a French speaking board and was speaking English. If you want to speak French, then join a board where that the is the language you speak. Otherwise . . . speaka da English.
Ah, go pahk da cah in Hahvahd Yahd.
Too bad. If we all were speaking different languages, communication would be difficult. If speaking another language is that important to you, I'm sure there are some forums out there where they are speaking other languages. This is United States Message Board where the vast majority of people speak or at least understand English. The rules make total sense.
Actually it's an international message board and the OP in this case is French. Speaking to someone in their native language is a courtesy. If it's meant for you as well --- it'll be in English.
No it is not. The name of it is United States Message Board, and there are rules that state you have to speak ENGLISH on this board.
No, there ain't. And if it's limited to the US how are we sitting in a thread created in France? I can think off the top of my head of several posters from Canada, Belize, Nicaragua, the UK, Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic and a few other places.
There are all kinds of ways to communicate, including the nonverbal -- these for instance are not "English" either --
--- nor are they French or any other language, yet they are communication.
As I said, if it's intended for you, it'll be in English. If it's not in English -- then it's probably not intended for you. Simple as that.
