People's english on DP

Is anyone else having trouble understanding what half of the people are trying to say with their horribly broken english or is it just me.

 

May be they are not as good as you in English!

 

People is itself a plural word - therefore, you must have not used "people's" its wrong English...

 

Some people fails to communicate the whole thing what the mean due to the lack of knowledge in English language

 

good observation ..

 

If you consider that we live in the 21st century it shouldn't matter whether english is your native language or not, you should be able to communicate in a way that others can also understand. I am not referring to your knowledge of the english language, I am simply pointing out that the amount of people who type incomprehensive sentences is just overwhelming. A typo is acceptable, but sentences that make me wonder whether it's a bot typing random words is just a completely different story.

 

some people having touble to chat, but they try cope up with people.

 

English is not the only language in this whole world so i think you should stop being like that and try to understand. There are many other major languages so obviously they might find it a bit hard to write in english. If you cant read it, leave it. No one is forcing you to read it. Also i guess digital point is place for people from all over the world and not just for english people, unless they claim it. Peace

 

I think these boards are very mixed.

 

Everybody is doing good work for him/her job.

There are users from around the globe.

 

I try my best to understand.
Maybe they are in learning stage....

 

or maybe he meant it to be in a Plural Possessive form?

Men's clothing
Children's books

XD Not entirely sure as English isn't my primary language.

 

To all guys above, that is exactly what i was saying earlier. So many people from around the world, so one cannot expect a perfect English. So i guess English people will have to live with it and try to understand.

 

People is a collective noun in singular form; its plural form would be peoples. Using people's was to indicate a possessive form

As with the topic, with DP being open to mostly anyone, this is already expected. But I guess it's just a matter of trying to understand. This could also be a way for people to learn.

 

Majority of the members here, English is the second language.

 

Wow this map is pretty cool actually

 

Quite frankly english is my third language, but I don't see that as an excuse to have limited knowledge of it. So to be honest I would't know why the same principle doesn't apply for the rest of the people here.

I am from the Netherlands btw.

 

I dont agree. In fact, those member need to improve their English
