Can we use other language here aside from English?

I'm no good at English (both oral or written), in fact the other way around which is Math, but nothing I can do since this is a discussion type of site not a sharing of problems with numbers. So I would like to appeal to the administrators if other languages like Tagalog, Bisaya or TagLish (Tagalog and English) will work here.

Unfortunately we can only use English here, so MyLot can moderate what we are saying and make sure no one is abusing the system - or harassing anyone or whatever. I think maybe we should be allowed to use other languages, but that might cause the separation of the community, since they would probably have to split it up into sections depending on the language. I do think it would be interesting though, because I know a lot of people here are not so good with the English Languages (I hear it is one of the most difficult languages to learn), so if other languages were allowed, more people would flourish and earn more money from Mylot.

Okay then, so I will never mind my poor English grammar so long as they do understand my point. Thanks for this quick response, no second thought I 'mark best response' for this.

The myLot guidelines tell us we must use English, and I can assure you that many people will report you if you do not. If you posted in one of those other languages or dialects, many people could not respond to you even if they wanted to. I do not know if there are any forums out there designed for the Filipino dialects, and I doubt if they pay. You can find others who speak your dialect and ask them to be your friends and send private messages to each other. For the posts in the public forum though, the rules clearly require English posts. You may want to concentrate on myLot as a way for you to improve your written and oral English, it certainly could be advantageous in your life, and you will not learn any younger than you are now.
