I genuinely hate how English is becoming a sort of de facto global language. Just more cultural imperialism. But it's very nice to be able to communicate with comrades from around the world, it might be my favorite aspect of this site. So I do appreciate you all taking effort to think something in your native language, translate it in your head, then type it up in English. Hopefully in FALGSC we'll get our universal translators, too.
For real, learning languages is hard. I had 2 years of Spanish in high school and didn't do too well, something in my brain just didn't click. But maybe you need to use another language a lot to really learn it? I lived in Germany for just two months and by the end I found myself kinda picking up things.

with all due respect, and as much as i love this site most of you guys seem to be anglos, or failing that, euros. like there are exceptions but most is the operative word here. i don't mean that in a derogatory sense, just that the demographic here is very much people from the imperial core.
off the top of my head, i know RNAi claims to live in Argentina, then "aaaaasdf" or whatever is from south africa, other posters say they're in china. as far as an english-language website for an american podcast goes, i think we're doing alright for ourselves
