Hi,
I am a fairly recent member of this forum and I must admit that I am very much impressed by it…
I started reading this thread out of curiosity and I found out that a lot of people have a problem with those who write in English…
I will agree with you guys that since this is a Greek forum all members should write in Greek, but I also agree with the people who said that there are certain complications that deprive them from doing so.
I was asked twice why I write in English in less than a week and just to be amusing I answered that `I suck writing in Greek´!!!
That is hardly the case because I am an excellent writer in Greek but the problem is my pc. I have a Mac that I bought from England, so obviously the Greek language is not installed and my keyboard is Latin character only. I did go to “Apple” and asked what I could do about the matter and they told me I had to give them my pc for 1 month and pay an additional 300 euro to have the Greek language installed not to mention I needed to buy a new keyboard.
So, I am truly sorry if I didn’t want to go through all that hassle just to be able to write in Greek!!
I like this site very much and I would like to stay as a member but I would appreciate if people thought of why someone is writing in a different language than its native (in this case Greek) before complaining endlessly about the matter… I really didn’t like some of the comments in here but I will not judge anyone… if no one wants to talk to me its their problem and I don’t care…
Sorry to be so blunt, but since this is a place where everyone complains about what they don’t like I wanted to share my opinion. (Although I hardly think that this thread was opened for these kinds of matters)
Thanks
Don't worry mate, whenever I am in the UK I write in english too. And I don't give a toss about any nasty comments that may arise from that. After all, english is supposed to be mandatory in high school. Or at least, it used to be. The important thing is that Greeklish are against the rules and I 'd rather write in Chinese than murder the Greek language by using them.
