RESPECT EACH OTHER

[JAKŠA]

George Bernard Shaw (GBS) was a famous Irish writer. He wanted to reform English spelling so that it was more logical. He asked the following question as an example:

How do we pronounce the word "ghoti"?

His answer was "fish".

How can "ghoti" and "fish" sound the same? GBS explained it like this:

the gh = f as in rouGH
the o = i as in wOmen
the ti = sh as in naTIon

Of course, this was a joke. The word "ghoti" is not even a real word. But it showed the inconsistency of English spelling.


So guys, if you see someone in the lobby who is not from English-speaking country and he make errors in spelling, please don't make ugly jokes about that and provoke them. Try imagine yourself to write in his language. After all they are trying to comunicate with you in YOUR language and if you understand them try to respect that.
Thank you.

Nice one Jaksa and I completely agree with you, most people who are playing these days are from non-English speaking countries. So i second you on this mate, and request everyone to make them feel at home. At least they are trying to communicate with us in the best possible way they can, and we should all respect that and help them.

Well said mate, I agree with you.
