The problem here Glenn is that with your , erm, idiosyncratic approach to English we can't tell whether this is a parody or you're just having a bad day.

And THAT's why I will continue to tell people about the Demi-Gods here who like to judge people from their Ivory Towers!! And you are just a typical BULLY who obviously gets off on putting people down. I'm sure you have an Orgasm at night in bed, dreaming about your self appointed 'wonderfulness'... Too many 'callouses' on your hand mate, for me to give a fuck about!!!
I doubt there is another member here who didn't see/understand what I was saying.
In obvious JEST about fabrication instructions etc. Do you think I'm against Chinese people? (Nope... in my family).
OH!!! I get it!!! You don't like my CARRIAGE RETURNS when I type.... Well the World is really over!!!!!!!
Here's a HINT... Don't READ my posts!!!!!! you arrogant Bozo
People that KNOW me, know I don't have long for this world. In the mean time, with what I have left, I interact
with kind people, and it gives me a little bit of pleasure. I guess I need to find out how to BLOCK you, and 5 other
people like you, so that I can finish my time in peace. I was having a 'moderate' day today. But YOU ruined it...
Got to remember that for *many* of us in this forum, English is not our mother tongue.
Dealing with idioms or slang or playing around with the grammar......makes us scratch our head trying to determine the tone. Is the person joking, angry, or being sarcastic?
Cerebus;
My post was actually directed to Glenn and his unintelligible post:
I don't think Cerebus were defending Glen. He just doesn't want to be the next target of Glen.

They for real does cair!!!
Just pleese puttings the happy screws in the exciting panel,
and you will be very soon jumpings to the happy tunes!!!
What is he saying?
On the other hand, his other post was extremely insulting to you. No doubt about it.
So to Cerebus, I'm sorry for my outburst. I just wish that some other people on this forum would stick to understanding, & replying if they wish to what ever comments people make or questions they pose, without comments that may offend or be misinterpreted.

Well if you want a peaceful life, why make a post that dredges up some spat you've had elsewhere with Brumby in an unrelated topic? That does seem to be trolling for a response.
Oh and please, less smilies, less brackets, less ... ellipses, less random punctuation in general and RANDOM changing into ALL CAPS in the middle of run on sentences. It makes it incredibly hard to read what you've written.
Dear 'Cerebus'..... I was not aware that Mathematics was a favorite topic of 'Aardvarks', or why you read this far?
'HE' was mentioned, because he usually makes some Pious remarks when I post something, & here was no exception !
I have ZERO interest in 'your' thoughts beyond that, so please stick to 'licking ants' mate......
OH... and as for your...... "and please, less smilies, less brackets, less ... ellipses, less random punctuation " diatribe,
do you now feel like a 'bigger' 'man' in your personal attack, beyond your apparent need to lick 'someone's' butt ().
Well, every 'punctuation' mark I use is for a reason, as raw text says/highlights/means nothing..........
Ignoring YOU (from now on), will be easy..... Back to the REAL commenters that the rest of us love here.....
You've got troll written all over you mate, otherwise why would you turn a polite request to adopt a more readable writing style into a "personal attack" and spend so much time crafting such a personalised reply. Well, perhaps crafting is too skilled a word for it, but it's clear the intent was to try and get some intemperate response out of me. As to ignoring me, good, but I bet you don't have the self control to let me have the last word.
"Africa" and the huge number of African languages is why Caterpillar (of yellow earth diggers and big trucks fame) developed "Caterpillar English", a simple, restricted vocabulary version of English that could be used for documentation where the local language represented too small a chunk of the market to make it economic to make local translations. They worked on the premise that the penetration of English was sufficient that a simplified version was likely to be acceptable where a translation wasn't feasible. (Often Africans that don't share a common tongue speak a 'pigeon' variety of English to each other even though no native English speakers are involved. Substitute 'Pigeon French' for some parts of Africa.)
I had a look and I found it surprisingly readable.
I had a look and I found it surprisingly readable.I was just about to ask you natives if you find it readable. I can certainly understand it (I think I do), but with some difficulty and it seems easier if I vocalize it in an entirely racist accent.
What's "wey" and "na"?
"Only Lagos alone don record 19 out of di 27 confam Coronavirus cases inside Nigeria. Di Nigeria Centre for Disease Control say na just two pipo don recover, including di Italian wey first carri di disease enta Nigeria."
My Mom used to work for a Vietnamese women here in the United States. She was raised in Vietnam, went to university in Japan (aerospace engineering), and immigrated to the USA. So she was an engineer who speaks at least three languages fluently. After working in the aerospace field for many years she was hired by Honda as a translator. They fly her around the world to serve as a translator between different engineering teams because she knows engineering terminology and can communicate that in multiple languages. This is just one example of the lengths and expense that companies go through to work/communicate effectively in just a few languages. Now multiply that by 200 or more languages and it becomes an enormous and expensive problem. When it is not done properly we wind up with things like Chinglish manuals ?
It is also why the best thing we could do is to get the rest of the world to give up on their native languages and make English a universal language. The trend of the last few decades to teach students in the USA a foreign language has been a huge mistake, a waste of money really. Instead we should have been raising a armies of English teachers to send around the world.

Hmm, it has its merits, but the thing is we tried this when there was a British empire that spanned the globe and still those pesky foreigners still insisted on sticking with their own languages. The French, Dutch and Germans tried it too before us and also failed. Remember too that before we could get started on the rest of the world, that we'd have the massive uphill task first of teaching you Americans to speak English too.
