This is a multi-lingual newsgroup. Use whatever language you like. Or in your case, Marie, feel free to make pedantic grammar corrections followed by egregious grammatical errors in any language you almost understand. |

Which newsgroup are we specifically talking about here? |

Here in rec.travel.air,
"Marie Lewis" spake unto us, saying: Is it? What about people who do not speak English? Are they barred? Who says so? Most USENET newsgroups tend to have a dominant language in use among its users. In the case of rec.travel.air, that language tends to be English. People are free to post in other languages here as long as it doesn't violate the charter of the newsgroup (I suspect the character of rta, if it exists, doesn't specifically specify English, though it could). However, I would expect a non-English posting to receive fewer answers here since the majority of the posters here are English-speakers, and I suspect a minority of those are bilingual. "Barring" someone from USENET is a fairly difficult task. :-) -- -Rich Steiner --- http://www.visi.com/~rsteiner --- Eden Prairie, MN OS/2 + eCS + Linux + Win95 + DOS + PC/GEOS + Executor = PC Hobbyist Heaven!

Most USENET newsgroups tend to have a dominant language in use among its users. In the case of rec.travel.air, that language tends to be English. But, this was a cross posting to, among others, rec,travel europe, where there are often people of different nationalities. The fact that posts "tend" to be in English does not mean that all have to be. ML |

this is an english language ng. -- Is it? What about people who do not speak English? Are they barred? Who says so? If non english speakers were to post in another language, that would be one thing. You posted in French when you could have posted in English, your native language. Polite people in multi lingual environments switch to the language that they speak that is most easily understood by the listener. You did the opposite..... -- Mike Reid "Art is the lie that reveals the truth" P.Picasso Walk-Photo-Wasdale-Thames- Walk-eat-drink-London "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Eat-walk-Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
