    Pigeon English threads from non English speakers.
    Increasingly I am finding myself reading posts on various forums (including this one) , probably from Europeans, written in very poor pigeon English. Something along the lines of,

    Bookie make the theft from my monies
    This is a fraud making by bookie
    Blah blah blah blah, sure you get the idea.

    Anyway , I am an impatient man, but I do not speak any other language, so I am not one to critique others for attempting what I am too lazy to bother with, plus there's not much point learning these double dutch languages these days as anyone worth anything generally speaks English.

    However, my point of contention about pigeon English on English speaking forums is thus.

    I dont try and converse on non English forums in pigeon German, or any other dieing language for that matter , so why do they insist on doing it on English forums? Why don't they go on their language versions of the same topic?

    My other point of contention is because they have such poor English , quite often they come across as rude or arrogant.

    I realise that you Yanks dont find it easy to speak English correctly and tend to speak the basic dumbed down version of American English , but at least understanding you is no more difficult than understanding a child, and you generally come across as polite which helps. Take JJ for example, nice enough chap if you can keep him off the booze , but hardly a linguistic genius , but at least he makes an effort, and thats what these pigeon English speakers need, more effort before they press the "submit new thread" button.

    How the hell Bill et al put up with the moaning emails from the hard done by is beyond me.

      I realize (realise) UK and USA English have some different spellings for the same word. I am wondering about your use of "dieing". This spelling is in my dictionary as part of def of "die" related to metalwork, etc. For the "die" you are using, only "dying" is given. Is this an error by you or is my dictionary not accurate concerning UK usage?

        Can you email the Firefox spell checker people about this please.

        Anyway smart arse , I can put up with the odd typo , its the coded threads which resemble something distantly related to English that I am finding unbearable.

            Si usted no quiere leer los mensajes, entonces no los lea. Nosotros en SBR tenemos que tener paciencia, porque no todos nuestros clientes hablan inglés, y no les podemos negar le el servicio simplemente porque no hablan el inglés tal como otros que se enojan porque su peleador perdió.

                  If you do not want to read the messages, then she does not read them. We in SBR must have patience, because all our clients do not speak English, and them we cannot deny him simply the service because the other do not speak English as that get angry because its peleador lost.

                                        Oh, sorry, didn't realize that such an intelligent Brit as yourself would need a translator, and sure as heck didn't want to bother you speaking in my dumbed-down 'Merican. How much did you pay for that translation? If it was free, then you indeed got your money's worth.

                                            Something I've been itchin' to say for awhile, I haven't found the thread to appropriately do so, this seems the closest.


                                            There really is a difference between these three words

                                            - there
                                            - their
                                            - they're


                                            that's all I wanted to say.

                                                I think Jamie's right. Trying to read through awfully written English is like driving with a woman driver, you may be fortunate and end up where you're supposed to be, but man what a nightmarish way to get there.

                                                    Let's ban English pigeons--especially the one that bragged how Hattan was going to beat Mayweather.

                                                        Vanman,

                                                        No offense intended; comment was not meant with you in mind.

                                                        Will Hatton KO Mayweather or win by points?

                                                          I think most people on here realise by now that Jamie is not to be taken too seriously in some of his more controversial viewpoints.
                                                          He delights in winding up American forumites, and is fond of promoting the virtues of the U.K. to the point of stubborness.
                                                          There is no disputing his patriotism, as portrayed with his avatar of Jordan displaying the Union Jack, but he can sometimes prove to be an embarrassment to his compatriots.

                                                            Jamie why won't you share your educational background with all of us? I'm pretty familiar with most UK universities and even some of the prestigious secondary schools, so chances are you won't be naming anything that I'm unfamiliar with. I'd also like to know what the bulk of your coursework was in as well. Anxiously awaiting your response mate...

                                                                Absolutely. I've been all over the UK and can only think of one sad bloke in South Shields that actually shares, in all seriousness, Jamie's views. We have plenty of Jamie_TX's here as well. Writer Red Smith said it best when he penned, "Never confuse character with geography." My dad put it a little less profoundly, yet was spot on, when he noted, "Son, no matter where you go in this world, one out of every six people you meet is an asshole. It ain't hard to be part of the group of five."
