QL Admin-a full time job?

hey DG & Richard, u've been violating the rules of hijacking swissy's thread.  Go make your own thread for English grammar, spelling etc.  i guess everyone would benefit since I noticed too that many Q'lers have trouble in spelling, grammars, etc.etc and i guess i'm not exempted as well.

 God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

   "Imagination is more important than knowledge"

But I would say that Internationally, French and Spanish are the most important languages after English to know.

But that's just my opinion, others may disagree.

Stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?

Definately a must for Qatar Residents. They can understand French Transmission on QBS from 1pm - 5.00pm everyday :)

After all, everyone knows the french smell of Garlic and the women dont shave their armpits....

[img_assist|nid=98726|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Because yes, as as Mr. Paul said maybe mandarin has more native speakers than french....but its how useful that language is (by seeing how many people learn it as their primary second language)....so if no one outside of China speaks mandarin, it is not as uself as say french (which has a lot of countries that speak it as a second language for example).

In that regard, English is THE international language....not to mention of official international language of almost everything from avaiation regulations, to business, to the ineternet, etc...etc...

So the most important language is English and anything esle you can pick up on top of that is an added bonus imho.

Stay safe all. 

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?

The third most widely spoken language after  chinese, and spanish, and thats only cos theres so many of them.

And,English, the International language of business .

How come you can speak so many languages and where did you learn your Russian? 

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

My grandmother (on my mothers side) was Armenian, but I can barely understand it, and not speak it much therefore I didn't really count it as a language (it was the half LOL).

Stay safe.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?

RR, what are your three languages...English, Arabic and French?

My roomate in Canada during my university years (who was also my best man btw) comes from a family positively gifted with languages.

The guy is of Lebanese and Czech decent (father and mother respectively) and they had a house in spain where they summered every year. As a result, he could speak: English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Czech.

His mom could speak all the above languages PLUS Russian.

His dad could speak all the above languages PLUS German.

Made me feel stupid with my 3 and a half languages compared to their 5, 6 and 7 languages LOL.

Stay safe all.

Had to laugh what you said earlier "What about the unintelligable nonsense Glaswegians or people from the North of England spout? "

I'm from the North of England and don't think I'm that bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

"She learned French from her mother who is French and English from me.

she didnt learn English from you...She learnt that Crap you call American....

[img_assist|nid=98726|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Its much clearer. A strong glaswegian accent on the other hand is completely indecipherable to me. 

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

i think as more languages someone understand and speaks as easier it will be for him in his life

and yet she is learning some arabic i guess.

Good thing you didn't mention Aberdeen on your list or I would recruit all the participants of "Brave Heart" to come and fight the battle.

We lived in Moscow from 1998 to 2000 when she was aged 4-6. She went to a Russian grade school and then when we left Russia we got a Russian nanny in order to keep the language going. She learned French from her mother who is French and English from me. 

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

same congrats from my part to her,to speak 3 languages in the age of 11,cool.

Gee thanks.  I have to thank in part for the education I received in Britain and the US for my current level of English although in Qatar I had a phenomenal English teacher for several years who really inspired me with English literature.

Excellent that your daughter can speak three languages.  You should tell her I'm very impressed!  Mashallah clever girl!

Your English is awesome no matter what your nationality. My daughter  (age 11) is fluent in English, French and Russian but her spelling is lousy in all of them!

Thanks Oryx for the compliment. I sure am glad that you think my English is real good.

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

quasi Brit?  I prefer Qataria thank you.  I'm still waiting to correct you in your second language ;)

You speak all those languages DG? Damn girl, that's impressive!

I got a B in GCSE French and decided that was more than enough for me!

You are just jealous of our self deprecating universal use of language. Our use of venacular is intended to include everyone and not to exclude some according to an anachronistic concept of class superiority based on accent and pronunciation.

The English language has never been pure. It has always evolved (look at Chaucer and Shakespeare and more recently, Trollope). It will continue to evolve, it is just that the shapers of the language have changed. No longer is it true that the sun never sets on the British Empire. In any event, British English is diverse in its own right. What about the unintelligable nonsense Glaswegians or people from the North of England spout?

It makes American English sound positively erudite in comparison.    

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

* pats perspiring brow*...OK Richard, I am fearless and  will accept the challenge if you will also start writing in your second language.  Arabic, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish and Russian will be accepted by me for correction.  Oh yes, Latin too.

Let the games begin...

You are leading us by a long way on that score.....To say yer all shooting melons and cans back home, why, when you give a US Serviceman weapons he prays and sprays and hits no one except British soldiers....Who needs enemies with boz eyed muppets like you lot around.......

And just for the topic, type in "Qatari" into the flickr photo site search and see what name it brings up....

And to DG, i type as i say it, thas why i say yer and cos, and the fact im a good old Northern working boy....

[img_assist|nid=98726|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

What about the dumbing down of Grammar Richard...

go on give me an excuse...

such as not using present perfect but just simple past

ie I have already gone.... I already went.?????

Or other dumb spellings in plurals

roof = roofs

Or the paucity of adjectives (only 2)

Awesome - Cute

Turning nouns into verbs

network

dialogue

And then this convuluted physco babble - where I dont' understand a thing..

'he has unresolved issues with.....'

Now I am out to get you. I am your official QL stalker. I will be dogging your every post on the lookout for spelling or grammatical errors.

Be scared, be very scared!

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

Er, Mr. Paul, I don't think 'yer' or 'cos'  are words, nor 'gets' when used as a noun

Well Richard, that's your excuse and you're sticking to it.  I'm not buying it though :)

American English is a function of anti-French sentiment in the early 19th century. The idea was to anglicize the English language.

Approximately 50% of English words are derived from French so to anglicize we changed it a little:

French      American English

Centre  =  Center

Coleur   = Color

Honeur  = Honor

and so on. Of course we didn't like the brits much then either on account of their taxation without representation policies so if changing the language annoyed them, then so much for the better.

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

are you forgetting our propensity for collateral damage? 

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

Yer miss letters out of words cos yer all lazy assed gets, who imbreed and  shoot tin cans in yer back yards.....

Oh yeah, you're Welsh.  You can't help it then.

[img_assist|nid=57389|title=|desc=peace|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0] _______________________________________________

ok i heard some news that Qatari is not Qatari but from different nationality and I heard also that he is she. oooppsssss

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.

I could claim that as I'm Welsh I actively set out to destroy anything English, including their language. That would be a poor excuse though.

A better excuse is that being an engineer means that poor language skills are almost expected of me.

Oh, I thought that might be the way you were saying it with your English accent.  I've heard a lot of people in speech adding an 'r' at the end of words that end in a vowel.

You are forgiven.  Don't let it happen again.

lol - sorry DG! That shows my over-reliance on my web browser's spell checker, which didn't correct me as Peninsular is also a word.

swissgirl, I can pretty much guarantee that Qatari will not give you any details! I tried to clarify something I found on the web which I thought related to Qatari and all I got were mystical replies!

I still think I have a pretty good idea who the real Qatari is though.

Richard, try not to get too annoyed. It's these dreadful English people.  One feels it ought to be pointed out that they can't speak their own language.

 Being American as you are , everyone knows what a mess you've all made of the English language so one is far more tolerant with your mistakes.

I love it when you, a Qatari woman corrects the grammar of a native English speaker. It puts us to shame. One of my colleagues, a young Qatari woman is always doing the same to me. She used to ask me to check her letters but now its me who asks her to check mine!

One thing that really bugs me is when people post Qatari's when they mean to say Qataris.

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

Qatari can you help us?

just some few little details about your job here

please

I've noticed that there are already simple filters that change things like "ex-pat" to "expatriate", and ones that look for common swear words and replace with a warning message.

I think Qatari works for The Peninsular and set-up QL as a place where they could steal stories from! 

:-)

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

U can setup filters for ur website also.

Any techno geeks around?

Probably the techno geeks can explain the intracacies of the procedure 

Hey man, cant do it, it doesnt appear in your signature...tried it but doesnt happen...what the hell did you do...

QTel filters you mean?

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

all ouir comments pass through filters

sounds good

wooooooooooooooowww

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.

thats why i asked how he makes it.

all that work.

puuuhhh.

*When hands reach out in friendship, hearts are touched with joy*

http://www.myswitzerland.com/en.cfm/home

I doubt QL is Qatari's full time job - it wouldn't pay enough!!!

And I also doubt if he runs the site by himself - there's too much going on for one person to watch it all. I know I can't keep up with everything!!!

he probably spends alot of time with lawyers cos of all the slander!

Qatari, do you need an assistant? i can send my CV... lol! 

I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it.  ~Charles Schulz

thats why i am asking myself how Qatari can survive it.

lol

Qatari,please,if you are here,can you give us a feedback how you make it?

PLEASE
