    You're Canadian- aren't you required to by law?

    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

        This site is not american or english. If I recall it correctly, one owner is from Canada and the other from Greek, so "foreign languages" would be anything but Greek, English and French.

        So would you like to ban any other language but allow Greek signature?
        It's not self-centered (though I think he's being a stickler for arguing over sigs), because English-only actually is the rule, plus, even if it wasn't, it's the de facto language of 'Poly.

          The word "simultaneous" does not appear in the French sentence. Do you have something to hide, BK?

            Je ne sais pas le mot pour "simultaneous" en francais.

              If you mean Buck Birdseed's sig I can't see why it would offend anyone. It is just a ad for a radioshow in Umeå

                  Which highlights quite well why allowing translations as well is somewhat dangerous.

                        To ensure that swear filters will work we could make it so that people would have to use identifiers such as [spanish] [/spanish]. To be fair, English users would have to use the same for their language and they'd have to be specific [ukenglish] [/ukenglish], etc

                            But the rest of languages are not "foreign". I'm not saying this is not a English-speaken site, I'm saying that there is no "national" and "foreign" languages. And I wouldn't have complianed about the word "foreign" has anyother but PA used it... But I'm afraid of knowing what the word "foreign" means for PA....

                              I don't think one should respond to a troll with serious points. So [ukenglish]tittybiscuits indeed [/ukenglish].

                                There should be an auto translate button so all posts appear in 7 differetn languages. Just what this site needs.
