I tried the pit for a while but had difficulty understanding what was being said most of the time.Pitsters probably have trouble understanding us and our humour too :D If they are taught English at school, as they almost certainly are, they should have no problem. Our problem is trying to understand what they do to the language after they have been taught it. I understand Tracy Lynn OK. I find it particularly difficult to understand what black people are rabbiting on about. This is NOT meant to be a racist remark, just the truth. Many sentences are completely incomprehensible.

I tried the pit for a while but had difficulty understanding what was being said most of the time. Pitsters probably have trouble understanding us and our humour too I have to agree with both of you. Mark, I'm slowly getting used to the extra letters inserted into some of your words (humour for instance). I'm afraid your slang will take a lot more time. This is why I'm doing more observing than posting.andsome, when my children were in grade school, I had to correct notes sent home by their teachers & ask them not to complain about the kids until they could do so in English. College professors have complained many times about school systems that graduate youngsters with poor reading & writing skills. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
