Since Americans butchered the English language

Oh, don't worry. The English can't speak English anymore most of the time.

In fact, I have hard time understanding the tone of all these posts at times as they cross cultural contexts.

You've got a point there! In order to be able to filter out misunderstandings or "weird" statements in posts that may be due to cultural differences, it would be great if you all added your location to your profile (at least continent would be great). Everyone knows that Americans are loud and what British humo(u)r is all about. I'm obviously from Sweden so you won't be able to understand me but anyway... [:)]

MATTIAS, AM I LOUD?

I smoke tulips all day

I kiss two lips most days. My girlfriend has a wonderful pair...

This thread is morphing from bitterness to love. What a wonderful thing. [:D]

Roses on your synthesizer, or tulips on your organ?

Hey Rino,

Send me some pizzas from Rome. And some Armani suits will ya?

I figured out how we can make sure we understand cross-cultural context and vocal inflections. We can use pseudo-html code.

Like:

<sarcasm>Well I'm sure you're wonderful.</sarcasm>

<jokingly>GO TO YOUR ROOM</jokingly>

<seriously>GO TO YOUR ROOM</seriously>

etc.....

Just kidding Rino. I need all my money for a new G5. Next time I'm in Rome, we'll have a pizza on me. The last time I was in Rome, I met Pope Paul at the Vatican in 1964. Not many people can say that, ay?

Newbie, I'm always joking. Read my post on Handel and it'll give you a Handle on where I'm coming from (Urgghh). Dreadful.

(however... sorry, this time... I don't think the Pope will join us... for a pizza... [:O]ops: )

I've enjoyed the humorous posts on this thread but maybe they should be on another one, because some of the (non-humorous) posts on this thread are bullshit and damaging to this company.

I am posting this right after seeing this at the top again, so I am not forcing it there myself. I don't like doing that because I really like this company and want to support it. People come here for the first time and read misinformation and are influenced by it negatively.
