that a deleted item conducts so much reply.
I've been working years on maps that were reduced with 40 answers.
Let's try...
I obviously wondered how come that when I answer a toppic no one replies for weeks?

honestly, at least in my case, because i rarely understand what you are saying. it's more than just how you translate what you're saying, but also because you sound almost poetic (but sometimes it makes absolutely no sense to me at all).
not having a go at you or anything, so sorry if this offends.
Yeah
MadFox, I often wonder if you're just joking or having your fun with us. Half of your posts are hard for me to take seriously because I think you're not serious. No offense!

I admit my way of behaviour is kind of hard to understand, as I'm more answering in the straight way that I feel.
So often reading a post a day later sets me on my toes,
like...my god, did I wrote that?
Thereby comes it is in a language I'm not familiar with, so it is more like babelfish.
I understand this is not a understandable way of conversing,
but mostly I try to keep it enjoyable for myself as others.
Indeed chance is that people don't get where I am at.
I'm not joking to anyone, seriously. It was just something that came up to me regarding all this posts on a dismissed subject.
Yeah
your posts are enjoyable. But now that I know that you are serious, I'll have to go back and re-read some of your older posts ;-)
Babelfish

Your English is close to fine which is why it's confusing. It reads like it should make sense but sometimes it doesn't and I think that's why people often don't understand what you mean or think you're making a joke. :)
I give you a lot of credit for even trying - I can't communicate in anything other than English so I have a lot of respect for those with a good handle on multiple languages.
Well

Your control of the language is pretty good, its more the rhythm of your speech (?) that can be confusing.
The odd invented word is great though - Babelfish made me think of the Dopefish.
My Spanish is crap, but I still spend most of my time conversing in it.
Fun Fact

Back in its pride it was famed for its hilariously bad translations. Nowadays it's gotten better I think, but everyone just uses google translate instead...
Never Heard Of It . . .

... used to be the only method I could use to communicate with Trinca ;)
I'd translate my English into Portuguese and then back to English to message him.
By doing this, it made him feel better about his own English.

Baker you suck hard...
Try to write something in Portuguese with no translators!
Hehe
#242 posted by Baker on 2009/10/08 19:28:57
Trina rocks and I love him ;)
I sometimes poke fun at him in jest.
Needless to say, I have no chance writing anything in Portuguese without software.

I knew it! Now honestly my first language at school was French... so I just had English in my 10 year of school : \
How do I suppose to write properly?
I got a mix of languages in my head :\
Portuguese, English, French, Spanish and Italian
:p
I love you to in a non gay way noob!
