Do we have anyone from France in here?

Post by Straha »

I was just thinking about the people from all over the world we have here, but the only two countries (well Spain too I think, but I sorta counted Portugal in there too) that I don't think have representitives here are France and Mexico. So, do we have any French men/women on board?

Je ne sais pas, mais peut-etre parce que nous ne parlons pas francais ici, et les Francais ne parelent pas anglais? Oui, il y a quelqu'uns ici qui ne parlent pas anglais a leurs langes premier, mais France est... etrange.

I don't know, but maybe because we don't speak French here and the French don't speak English. Yeah, there are people here who don't have English as their first language, but France is... funny. Pardon me any French-speakers who I've just mangled their language, Grade 11 French isn't really al that hot.

Yeah, we're not exactly crawling with Botswanans here.

We do have some Korean users, though I can't remember who they are at the moment.

No, they're born Quebecois. ;)

And it's too bad you corrected him. I wanted to do it. ;)

Moi, je n'ai jamais habité en France, mais j'y visit souvent. Un jour j'y habiterai, je pense. Le printemps, la paysage est très belle, et la ville est vivante. C'est peut-être le pays le plus fantastique du monde.

I've heard that France in general has really crappy Internet connections.
Don't hate; appreciate!

WTF??

*Shoots Straha. Reloads. Shoots Straha again.*

There, one less obnoxious spammer to worry about.

Including Portugal in Spain, indeed..

However, technically, Portugal has only one regular here now, warspite. I'm in Germany.

And French internet connection is as good as the U.S one. They just don't like english speaking foruns. Curiously, neither do the spanish. If you're of an english speaking country, you'd do better in passing your vacations in Portugal than in spain, you'll communicate a lot better (and we're nicer, too). :D
