Is it just me, or is it hard to understand what people are saying sometimes?
Due to poor grammar or just bad English skills lol. I will be reading something somebody said and just keep reading it over and over while not understanding what they are saying. It usually goes like this: "so about my statement about the thing that i said earlyer and above, what about you? ruin and undying are uncounterable for survivors I feel like you should reread everything correct that I said."
Of course, that is just an exaggeration (for the most part) and I am not calling anyone out, I was just wondering if it was just me who was having trouble understanding what people are saying sometimes on the forums.
Also the arguments people have frequently. They could use some work to say the least.

Keep in mind that not everyone speaks English as their first language.
Then there is the device they use when posting. I myself use my phone for the most part and predictive text has a lot to answer for.

The share of native english speakers on the forum is not that huge, and it's definetely not a bad thing.
What you called an "exaggeration" is in fact perfectly understandable.

Yeah that makes sense. Was just wondering since there were lots of posts I had to read multiple times to understand. Again, I am not complaining or bad talking about those kinds of posts.

Even then, a little proof reading goes a long way.
I’ll proof read before pushing post, and then read it again after in case there was something I missed.

English is my first language, and I am fluent in French and Spanish. I see simple sentence structure errors in ESL people. They can proof read, but in their native language the structure is right... english is just bass ackwards.
