they are Oo lacop said they are banned since like 2 months now...tard... xD

However, McMoist, don't expect a guy from Slovakia to have mastered all intricacies of the English language to the same degree as you. ^^
That's where common sense and a proper understanding of the word "permanent" in the "length" column of the banlist might come in handy.

Frankly if I could speak German, or Dutch or Polish as well as you guys speak English I'd be proud of myself cause for the most part it is brilliant.

Unfortunately I was raised in an educational system that doesn't think it's important to speak any language other than English. They only introduce other languages when we're about 12, 13. And by then you don't care about anything. Well, at least I didn't.

Well - my writing is far better than my speaking because in my opinion the only way to acquire a good accent is to live in the respective language's native country. I wish I could live for e.g. one year in Scotland because then I might start to speak with that sexy Scottish accent. ^^
They are right (for the most part) which reminds me of an English joke:

Lord Fiddlebottom went on a trip to Kenya.
After he returned his servants asked him: "My Lord, how was your voyage?"
"Very nice, very nice indeed."
"And Kenya itself? Didn't your Lordship have any troubles with the language?"
"No, but the natives did."

If you want to learn a foreign language then don't rely on schools to teach it to you - I for example learned English mostly by playing video games and watching films (I have always been a curious guy, even when I was young - I knew how to use an encyclopedia by the age of 4 or 5 - so I looked up all the words I didn't understand in dictionaries ^^).

Stop, it's bragging time:

I speak Polish, German (on an almost native level), English, French (not very well) and I taught myself some Latin. Hence by knowing one Slavic, two Germanic and two Italic languages I possess the perfect tools to understand most Indo-European languages but for some strange exceptions to a certain degree.
But then my being interested in languages and language in general might be the reason why I ended up studying applied linguistics; after 5 years realized that I was only being taught translation and regretted my choice... I could've studied computer linguistics in Germany - three universities were ready to accept me but I stayed because of my stupid girlfriend I'm not even involved with anymore. La donna è mobile... remember that, guys, when you're about to make any decisions important to your life solely because of a relationship... :-\

What's all this then?
What's with the bickering and shit?
Astley rocks, mcmoist hates him, and baal only loves Aqua. That should clear up all misunderstandings >_<

Fun fact: "To search, look for something" in Polish is a bad word in Czech :))

Lord British I wanna have a new Ultima part!

@Langs:
So I speak German (Really!) and based on studying computer science I'm quite used to English. That's it... the regular situation here in Germany if you don't take French in school. Me didn't... therefore I've got my Latinum... but this is quite dead.

@Scottish:
Visiting my girlfriend's brother last year who left Germany for living in Scottland I came to the conclusion that (at least) the people in the Highlands don't speak anything which could be in relation to English.

Baal you cock nosed goon, if he'd said they HAD been banned for two months he would have said

'They've been banned for two months now'

What he says leads me to believe, through HIS phrasing, that they have been banned for a period of time rather than permenantly.

Don't tell me how to speak English, I was speaking English when you were still sucking on your Daddies teet!

Yeah, they speak Gaelic. They're totally in the minority though, and it's not like they don't speak English too. I'd be surprised if I found anybody who spoke Gaelic and only Gaelic.
