Many clans disregard the fact that English isn't a person's first language and/or if they have disabilities like dyslexia that affect their spelling, grammar and punctuation and punish them for not being able to keep up with their standards.
Do you think this is fair for them to do, and why? |

If anyone in my clan had that, I would make an exception for them. Unless they speak out to announce this, I'm not going to let every person not use grammar. |

it's a group and you can leave or not leave. if you don't speak their language, oh well, that's too bad. if you don't fit the standards, oh too well. |

Fizz do you not think of yourself as being a tad bit ignorant?
It's a game and people can wish to do what they want, regardless of language boundaries, much like in real life. |

If I am online on xfire don't xf me.
I don't want to be using it right now, when I'm online I'm pestered with multiple people trying to talk to me at once, which I generally decide to ignore; however it is still really annoying.
Just PM me instead :X |

I encourage them to use grammar to the best of their ability, if they don't know anything about it, I give them a little english lesson. It works pretty well.

No you don't, but like I was saying that's not giving them a fair chance, that's just dismissing them because they struggle to speak English.
Of course there's an obvious issue with some one asking, "hola tu llamo espanol?" or "kon'nichiwa, anata wa nihongo ga hanasenai?", but that's not why I was saying, I was just referring to when people struggle to spell and use grammar/punctuation, not speak the language. |

| It would be hard to communicate with other members, so yes I think English should be a primary language everyone should know. Seeing as this is an AMERICAN website. |

Haha Kay, you know me (not very well) but regardless you know I'm far too smart to do that, besides what would be the point in asking the C&G to do an essay for me.
