Did you get me right?...

When that happens to me, I go back and read what I said. I know there is a language barrier so if someone gives a good response regardless, I may answer their response - and there we go having a completely different discussion going . If the person is one I consider a decent member here and not a "one-liner", I don't even bother correcting or explaining. Okay, if I felt very strongly about the subject I might. And iff it's obvious that someone didn't bother to read or think about the discussion, why take the take to correct.

it never happend to me and if it happend then i will think that it is my fault because i will not be able to understand all.

Id blame myself as I know sometimes i dont explain myself right. I tend to misword things.

I rarey have discussions that cause any kind of controversary. That includes non-english speaking people. I ignore the english "error",so to speak, & try only to see what they are sayig. So non-english speaking people are not a problem. What is the problem are narrow minded english speaking people, who can only see things from their point of view.

I enjoy seeing how different minds think different. Sometimes people misinterpret my discussions and I wouldn't mind. It's quite interesting to me that the responses could be so different. But sometimes people are like "way off" the discussions, I will try to explain more on my comments to them.

I would blame myself because it would seem that something is wrong with the way I tried to relay the topic. If 90% of the responses I got didn't get the point of my discussion, I don't think I'll try to correct them, but comment only on what they have said and understood. Fortunately, I haven't experienced having a discussion where 90% of the responses didn't get it right. But I have received some responses that didn't quite touch on the main topic of my discussion. What I usually do is make a follow up question in the comment. I hope I got this discussion right.

No, I don't rant about it. I think we need to be considerate of the facts you've stated. I had one today who seemed only to answer my heading, but I responded to him as though he was citing the whole discussion. He wasn't English and there's a chance he didn't understand what I was saying. Brightest Blessings.

I don't rant or even get annoyed about it...lol If someone seems to not get what I'm talking about then I will comment on their response and try to make myself more clear. Now if 90% of the people didn't get it...I think I had better put on my dunce cap and sit my sorry behind in the corner and think before I type...lol Seriously though, it doesn't bother me, I know there are many people in mylot that are trying to learn English. I know it is a hard language to master...heck most of us speaking it haven't mastered it...lol I try to make my response very clear when I respond to a discussion that seems to be someone learning. Blessed Be, Mari

i think i will be just think what went wrong in my post. it must be my fault that i am not able to phrase them correctly.i think it also happened to me for few discussions i started. then in comments i had to say what went wrong.

I was going to start a discussion on this very topic yesterday. I answered a post and it was taken out of contexted. This as happened a couple of times to me. I found that each time this happened it was because I quickly answered the discussion without reading it after wards to make sure it said what I meant it to say. Do you ever do that?

Hello aseretdd, I don't really think about this. Normally when I read the responses, I just read without thinking of whether they understood what I wrote or not. I am happy to get a response though it is not what I really want to hear sometimes. But definitely for sure, I won't rant. By the way, just want to ask you... did you get offended with some of the responses?

I try to explain myself thru comments. It is easy to be misunderstood on here.

i think that if 90% got some thing i said wrong i would definately sit back and think about how i phrased the question,as that is a high percentage.i agree that some people do not read the post properly and as you said they are not very well versed in english.i personally would not bother ranting about it.i would just move on and be a bit more careful how i worded some thing next time.cheers sue

i try to be nice as possible to them. i don't want to rant them because others are somewhat sensitive when it comes to their feelings. so the result, you'll get a fight. whenever they don't get the point on my topic i just explain it to them and tell them like this and that maybe they don't understand my topic very well, so their idea was different from others

I have dropped the thought of expecting everyone could get my point, but some still do. Since this site is full of members all over the world, I suspect that only a few could get to an accurate answer. With that, I'd just do my best to understand and catch their individual points of view/perspectives. We are all here to enjoy, so I don't really mind much about it or make some ranting. But if you're to ask me, I am still disappointed with this things and those who never get to understand what we should be doing here. I just do the best I could to explain what I meant through comments, I guess that's the best thing to do..

If it was 90% of the people getting it wrong, I would definitely look over how I wrote the discussion to see what is misleading them. You can get mad at a couple of people if they misunderstood or just didn't read, but if most of the people responding are getting it wrong, it has to be the way you phrased your discussion. I would just try to explain the best I could in comments.

I dont rant about it unless someone has purposely ignore your question and started a discussion of there own to your response thats what annoy's me, To be honest i have not always understood what people are trying to say but then people do express themselves in different ways and even if the english isnt good its about understanding the question before you respond..x

If someone misinterpts my questions that am posting i generally just let it go, the next person to post usually will make a comment to get them back on track. If the point is cleary not being came acrooss then i will make comments.

that good thing
