I love how Japanese always looks like the character encoding was broken or something. Half of it is characters and half is "random" squiggles. Schizophrenic freaks.;)Quote:

Just put up your **** Chinglish and get on with it already. Nobody cares if your English is poor. Insisting on writing stuff like "PS;边茂富is 2005年武术散打世界锦标赛冠军" is bad manners. At least TRY to explain what it means.Quote:

:D
Part j/k
Yeah, odd innit? The hiragana (like たとえば) at least looks flowing... that's used for grammatical endings and some native words which don't have kanji. The katakana (like the same example: タトエバ) just looks like Matrix kind of nonsense, and is used for foreign words or often Japanese words they would prefer not to associate with themselves (now that's schizophrenic! :D ) like swearwords or something exotic.Quote:

Don't even try to associate these Sanda vs. Muay Thai "friendship" matches with "my" kungfu! :p Especially one with a fighter that looks like he might be Bukau standing in the middle:Quote:

If that's him them there's a Sanda guy who doesn't know it yet but is in over his head.
Anyways, the "problem" remains. It wasn't translated by the guy who posted it. It was just some other dude having fun/showing off. Posting some Chinese thing and asking for translation is one thing but just posting in a foreign language as if it didn't matter is annoying as hell. Unless the topic IS the foreign language, it's bad "nettiquette".
Is that going to be the new standard? If it is, that's cool. We can go multilingual. At least that way we can more easily get around the language sensors. We can have threads in Portuguese, Chinese, Russian (are there enough posters who speak it?). What the heck! This board is international right?
Not repeating this for you actually, more for "Dexin Wong". Maybe he's gunshy because of the way the people on Chinese boards will net-rape you for perceived English errors so he figures here on an actual English board we'll just laugh him into oblivion which is not true....ok, so maybe YOU and I will but most people don't really care how poor your English is as long as we can understand it.
My Great grandfather's name spelled in Russian reads BOPBUK is pronounced Vorvick-which they changed to Warwick for him at Ellis Island. I wonder if Dionne Warwick spells it BOPBUK
ya think she's jewish?:rolleyes:
So, as ek skryf in 'n taal wat min mense hier sal verstaan, is ek eintlik 'n poephol? :cool:Quote:

course if you're from either Belgium or Netherlands, you would probably understand
some people on this forum probably just need a holiday. Either that, or they need to get girlfriends :D
What is the difference between Chinglish and Engrish?
I am trolling the thread.
As pointed out, any other non English text should have an English text followed.
:)

You are really the one being rude.

The fact that I could read the original post without waiting for a translation doesn't mean that it was any more intelligeble to the vast majority of other posters.
As far as Eddie's comment:
Yes. It would. Free get out of jail free card on the post though because he was making a joke which is not the same as just showing up on an English language board posting in Chinese.Quote:

Regarding his other comment:
I am sitting around at home with too much time on my hands because I am on vavcation. I talked it over first with my girlfriend, in Chinese since she won't speak English with me, and she agreed that posting like that was being a major SB so there. :pQuote:

as far as Chinese posting along with English.
My Chinese software sucks. Sometimes it works fine. Sometimes it will not change back to English once it is turned into Chinese typing keyboard.
My pin yin sucks. My Xin Hua Han Yu Zi Dian is not always available or I am too lazy to brief thru the dictionary.
It is an English forum.
It would be nice to post something that "everyone" may understand.
:)
