Off Topic I want to apologize for possible insulting words!

[keko]

OK guys, boys and girls, I would like to apologize for possible insulting words which I've been used on this forum so far!

Recently I received a honest and friendly PM from one US forum member, which I consider like a very good friend of mine, and this person warned me that I'm using time after time some possible insulting words, especially to US citizens and American way of life ...etc!

I'm very sorry about that, but I assure you that was no intention for that from my perspective, because English is not my native language and those "terms" in my language have completely different meaning!

Now I know which words I will avoid in the future and I would like to invite all forumites to feel free to react the same way if I accidentally write possible "bad" words or terms!

Thanks for Your patience and understanding!

Keko

I am amazed and humbled by the way you speak a language that is not your own. Don't worry if you screw up; I will defend you against any and all who would try to correct you. Learning another language is hard - and rewarding and somewhat of a miracle.

Play on, brother. Play on.

I am with jack bro! Rock on

It would also seem the Irish therm " having the crac " means something different state side

 

[MadMatt]

I know it's not easy Keko but your English is great. When I moved to Germany many many years ago, German kicked my rear end for several years. It could not have been that bad

 

[JayDawg]

No offense was ever taken. You actually speak and write English very well. In fact, I don't ever recall even seeing a post by you that I took offense too.

I go back to a post that got some chuckles a few months back:

"We are the world, we are Croatians...."

We're on your side Keko.

 

[Colin]

can't be any more insulting than the word my brother used at the last forum bash...

+1 more. I very much enjoy you on the forum. I'm personally still working on English as a first language!

You are awesome brother, no problems here!

 

[adouglas]

My own posts insult me much more than yours ever do.

 

[jlepre]

Keko,

I have never read any post of yours that offended me. C'mon, tell us what words you used, PLEASE????

 

[Big Poppa]

Keko all is cool

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

I have never noticed any insulting words.

I can't get over how good the English of so many non-British and Irish Europeans is. You guys write better than a good portion of us North Americans!

 

[TNT]

It's very, very hard to "offend" an American at all for anything in this day and age.

 

[keko]

Thanks guys, You're all so kind!

I believe that we all should continue a nice friendship on this great forum in a good will, talkin' about our great Music Man instruments, rigs, music, gigs, tech stuff, DIY, mods, sound...etc.

I'm proud to be a member of EBMM forum!

P.S. ...and yes, unfortunately English is significant barrier for many friends of mine (Croatian EBMM bass and guitar players) who would like to join this forum, but they simply don't speak English!

I wouldn't let that stop them, there's plenty of Brits around who have trouble communicating in English! Most of them seem to be engineering students!!!

I'm not easily insulted but I don't recall anything that you said that was out of line.

Keep up the great work, Keko

 

[Powman]

Unless there was something recent, I can't think recall anything that you said that was unkind Keko. (Even if there was, it was probably a misunderstanding).

Just so you know Keko, As an American , who is under the very mistaken notion that the rest of the world should just learn to speak then English ( well it did start out as English....and I am sure there is no letter "U" in the word color). I can only imagine how quickly I would inadvertently manage to insult just about each and every non-English speaking person in the native tongue of their choice. I , therefore offer my sincerest thanks and eternal gratitude for you and the rest of the world for taking the time to speak to me in the only language I understand. Yes , I am using the term understand very lightly ,simply because whatever English Language rule I think I know , there is most definitely an exception to it I have missed. Plus insults keep me humble.


In other words Keko.... Don't sweat the small stuff , I know I don't.
