If your language is not allowed than spanish should certainly not be allowed either

I can just see why they won't allow Hebrew in the forum. Just remember what happened when Hebrew was first spoken in space.

So wait, Spanish and semi-english is allowed? cause we can type Hebrew with English characters. Or I can start translating my posts to Spanish, would that garner me a warning?

By your standards, Arabic should be banned in planes. Just remember what happened when Arabic was spoken on a plane.

Wait....... I'm confused.
It has to be english only or no limitations. (semi-english counts, those who have a hard time forming thoughts can still post)
What do I care if its hebrew or spanish or french. If its not English I cant read it. So either make it english only or let them speak what ever the hell gibberish they want.

English is preferred and is requested since a lot of us may not understand anything other then English.
It may be considered rude, just like when in a group and someone starts speaking in a different language that not everyone understands. Who knows what your speaking of. Could be the wart on the top of my nose, or the size of my member. It's just not polite.

Sir, I don't think myself or Illini the flying approached this escapade with rudeness or anything along that line. We are just trying to understand whether there are different standards for latin and non latin languages, so we can act accordingly. Sir?

I agree with your logic Sam. I always feel uncomfortable when conversations in say a barber shop take place in other languages, of course you feel like its negative or secret.
But it is not illegal..... At a poker table it is english only, anything else is against the rules. This is because a competitive advantage is being gained.
I feel like this forum is more of a barber shop than a poker table. Who cares what they say to each other. Or if it has been decided we do care, then we should care about all languages, not just certain 1's.

So you would rather leave me wondering whether Spanish/Romanian is allowed? I don't understand. Would a mod rather hand out a warning to a member when he could've been explicit about what and what's not allowed?

Is Spanish Allowed?

I agree and I am ok with that. The problem I have is when you told me on the forum that you "Asked me and didn't tell me" not to speak anything else, that was not the case. You know that. Not trying to start anything but what is right is right here.
