    Rules

    Lili has asked us to share the following with you:


    Pirates,

    If you miss it, there is a new Sheriff in town.
    I am Captain Lili, hello to you all.
    One fun fact about me: I speak 4 languages and currently learning 2 more. And English language was my 4th. BTW it was the easiest one (and it’s not a compliment).
    I noticed that in the English chat some players and especially moderators are bullied for their mistakes in English.
    So I am here to enlighten you about the English language:


    1 - English is the third most spoken native language in the world. Standard Chinese and Spanish are first and second, respectively.

    2 - English is not the official language of the United States. BTW China has more English speakers than the United States.
    3 - The plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac. Guess why? ‘Cause it’s a French word. Like many other words it was “inspired” by French language or Latin-based languages and was added to English vocabulary.

    Now, have you considered that if a person writes/speaks with mistakes in English, it’s because they may speak another language and maybe even several of them?
    Have you thought that you instead of spending time bulling those people, could learn a new language? Have you made mistakes in a new language?
    Did you have an idea to help those people practice YOUR native language, that you know just ‘cause it’s your native one?… that those people come to help YOU with YOUR troubles and even learned a new language to do that? BTW I saw a lot of natives in all languages doing mistakes and it’s OKEY!
    Eventually, how many languages do you personally speak?


    On that note I will introduce a nice rule for all Chats/Forums/DC:

    Those who bully or troll others for mistakes in any language will be banned for 3 days for the first time, for 7 days the second time and 30 days for the third time.
    Feel free to fix my mistakes, I will happily give you the ban.
