    Languages

    Lets try something here, we have had quite a few threads recently where language is an issue.

    These forums are English based, but only as its a common language.

    Here is the deal, write your post to the best of your ability in English.
    If you are not comfortable that your meaning is clear - or clear enough.
    Write what you want to say in simple sentences in your native language,
    (keep the English post too )
    odds are someone else will be able to help out.

    English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

      Excellent idea.
      The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

      I'm the least you could do
      If only life were as easy as you
      I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
      If only life were as easy as you
      I would still get screwed

                Babel Fish doesn't have a Polish to English translator. How about a translation?!

                    The english wasn't there before. He must have edited his post. Or maybe I just didn't see it.

                      Ok, you can have a translation of the above, eventually

                      Too bad I know only one guy from PL that pops in here...and his skills aren't better at all. Of course there's also some Engslish student...he's too lazy though




                      So...there's nobody here who would help
                      And babelfish/google doesn't give a damn...

                        No, but writing out your thoughts can help clear up what you want to say - just having it written down will do that. That in turn helps you double check you are saying what you want to say in English.

                        I use it with Japanese, when I want to write something complex, get it out in English, and then check all my points are covered.

                              Does a local dialect count?
