A funny alt! :)Follow

You already posted this once, here.

I'm guessing the thread became invisible to you and you thought it had been removed. It hasn't, it's just been rated below the default filter level. The reason it's been rated below the filter level is because, ultimately, it's a silly thread. We can't tell you what class you'll have fun with, only which classes we had fun with.

You can turn off the filter by changing the option at the top of the thread index from Default to Never. Most posters have already done that, so most of us can still see your first thread.

Posting an identical thread would be considered spam, which is not recommended here.

I understand that you might not be familiar with the way the forum works, hence this informative (hopefully) post before someone comes along and suggests you defenestrate yourself, or something similar. At least now you'll know why if they do.

It is also sometimes helpful to mention if you are not a native speaker. OP, are you French by any chance?

To be honest i didnt even think about it ;) u could be an englishmen aswell as u could be from denmark. with that i mean that noone should notice ;)

I wouldn't have guessed it.

Then again, I've seen native Danes write Danish that could kill lesser-minded if they read it out loud. It's hard to tell where someone's from based on their text, in my opinion.

The reason a lot of us are harsh on people who don't have decent posts (spelling and sentence structure) is due to how pathetic some posters are when English is their native language. Without any of us knowing where you are from and previous education levels we tend to jump to conclusions and assume that said poster is just being really lazy. Follow Rhodekylle's advice though and stick around. We have cookies! Unfortunately Mazra ate them all. >.>

Yeah, you just left the cookies from the old country.

Obviously the British stole all of the Danish Us.

If I hadn't seen you mention that English wasn't your native language before, I would have never known. Your written English is better than that of most native speakers that I interact with.

Wasn't fishing for compliments, to be honest. I was just curious if my nationality was noticeable from my syntax.

Take the following sentence, for instance:

English - I walked down the street and suddenly she was there.

Danish - Jeg gik ned ad gaden og pludselig var hun der.

See how we switch some of the words around? In English, the pronoun comes before the verb, whereas in Danish, the pronoun comes after the verb. Sorry if it's not called a pronoun. I'm having some difficulties finding the proper English name for that term. In Danish we just call them 'grundled'.

I was merely curious if any such mistakes had shown up in my posts.

Well, yes?

I'm confused, who is Emily?

I think it was a poster that got nuked after Criminy made the post.
