I see many people from different countries apologizing for their 'bad English', as in "sorry for my bad english". This forum was meant to be used by everyone in the world. There is no need to apologize. I am sure that most people here could not speak, let alone, type in your language.

feel free to translate this message into your language

Would it be bad to correct the grammar in the first post?

Sorry.

Дякую, Марко
is 'sorry for my bad lisp' OK?

xiaxiang · « **Reply #11 on:** March 07, 2013, 08:00:34 PM »

Thanks ,Mark!
How about saying "thanks"?There is no need to say "sorry" as you mean,but I'm afraid that you guys couldn't understand what I said in my topic,so I think that I must express my apologies.
BTW:Who can translate this sentence as follow for me

祝各位老师身体健康，在新年里行大运，发大财！
Regards.

Just wanted to apologize to Mark and say I'm sorry for people apologizing when you asked them not to.

My English is bad and I'm lazy. Get over it.
I'm not sorry, and I never will be sorry.

Believe me it's not just far Eastern languages where English is not-so-good-speaking. I hear this sort of grammar / spelling a lot in my country too:

Quote

Ek is glad nie jammer vir my slegte Engels nie. => Me is glad not sorry for my bad Engels.

That should be translated more correctly as :ugly: :

Quote

I'm absolutely not apologetic for my bad English.

irneb · « **Reply #25 on:** March 09, 2013, 01:51:14 AM »

some of those translators seem schizophrenic ... compare Google's English -> Afrikaans with the correct Afrikaans -> English.

Though I think a major reason behind it is due to historical anger. Some Afrikaners simply cannot forget what the English did to us just over 100 years ago, so they take offence at being told to learn English. Even the name they gave the wars is offensive "Anglo-Boer wars" literally means "Anglo-Farmer war": i.e. the English were fighting against civilian farmers. But I must say, it's getting rarer to find such hateful Afrikaners these days - we do realize that it wasn't the entire English nation (only some of their rulers of those days) who caused all of it.

Think the Nazi's were bad? http://goo.gl/XsfUJ
