I sometimes get really messed up responses to discussions I create. Its usually from people that seem to not speak English very well. They are made up of sentences that don't make sense...Is it just me and the discussions that I post or do you guys get these sort of things?

I do too but I try to be patient. After all, there are a lot of people on mylot who don't speak English well. Many of them are from countries other than the United States of England and English is a second (or even third) language for them. I know how hard it is to learn a language (I took Spanish in college and it was really hard) so I try to be patient, because they are just learning. And personally, I like the fact that there are people from different countries on my mylot, it makes for more interesting discussions. So I try not to be bothered.

Hello Toppovisky; Not sure, but, isn't this a Russian name? Do you live in Russia? Anyway. Go to alexa.com and search for myLot.com You will see the stats, meaning who is mostly using myLot.com - USA and India... Just go and check it. So, the language issue makes sense, doesn't it? Well, the choice is yours. You can see rapidly how the English is and act accordingly. But, I wouldn't stop the communication of anyone due to their poor mastery of one language or the other. If you want to help, you can check on line for some free English tutorial that you can refer your respondees too, letting them know, politely, that you would be glad to continue the conversation if only you would be able to understand what they are trying to communicate. Something like that. Not to make feel them bad or anything. I find amazing that with so little knowledge of the English, they manage their way around the net and are desperate or interested enough to send out a communication. Best to you, Hurray

some mylotters do not actually read the posted discussions, their goal is to earn money (everyone does.. and that includes me) So why post longer and sensible response..Think of this friend.. if you have a goal of posting 100 responses in a matter of 3 hours would you still be conscious in typing your responses... I think you should teach me the correct form of english usage..so on and so forth..
