So I guess it depends on which side of the pond you sit.

joe100 · 19 August 2008, 07:19 AM

Proper language as in not using a preposition at the end of your sentences or profanity?

Brcmpbl · 19 August 2008, 07:29 AM

Clarification is needed here.

Chozn1 · 19 August 2008, 07:31 AM

I've always thought a day date with another language would be cool. We are talking about watches... right?

Defiancekofb · 19 August 2008, 07:34 AM

I couldn't care less, I mean this isn't kindergarden, people!

Lisa · 19 August 2008, 08:22 AM

Puedo opinar?

Tombstone · 19 August 2008, 10:14 AM

In today’s world/society I hear and sometimes use both forms (proper and improper). The choice of using a colorful metaphor or refraining from such usage would depend upon whom I am speaking to. A cheeky common (or here in the U.S.A. a thug) receives the foul gutter talk which is what they are worth, that is what they understand, and that is what they get. A gentleman would never hear a foul word depart from my earthly lips due to the fact their behavior did not merit such.

As for this site I don't care what people say or use in terms of language. We are all adults here if someone types a colorful metaphor so what? We have all read and said these words before.

boa2 · 19 August 2008, 01:52 PM

Well my second cousins live over air on that there south side of the old pond and I recon they can talk purty good. Thay's just have a problem when it comes to readin' and such. Me I always did purty good with rithmitic more than Anglish. How bout you fellers?

Marrk · 19 August 2008, 03:37 PM

I don't care about the language, but I wouldn't mind banning the morons who sit by their computers all day long so they can post (90 seconds after a thread starts) with something like "I don't know anything at all about what you're talking about, but someone will be along soon to answer your question."

Why bother?

I guess that the "morons" in question are genuinely attempting to convey a warm welcome to the o/p since these types of threads are generally the first post of a newbie whose burning question brought them here in the first place.

No banning for this type of member, I'm afraid.

For those who don't get the question.
