ENG General Discussion in English
Forum for discussion of general topics in English. Welcome!
Actually, rather I hope it will attract some foreign / international users to FOK! and allow it to grow on another level instead. Imagine Kanye West joining our discussions, or Noam Chomsky correcting our linguistics, would be FOK!king awesome.quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 12:30 schreef Netsplitter het volgende:

I think it could be usefull for some people to train there(?) English skills.
My name is already spelled correctly so no need to go translate it literally, it's actually "Magnetronkoffie" pronounced in Englishquote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 12:30 schreef Triggershot het volgende:

Screw you microwavecoffee, how does that sound for a good practice?
.So more like "Meknetwankaffie" (don't worry if you need some time to absorb this new information)

It might be lost. But if it is, that has little to do with the existence of this English subforum.quote:Op zaterdag 2 januari 2016 12:32 schreef MPC60 het volgende:
First, welcome. Second, I'm kinda worried this will demolish our own little private Dutch community on the Internet. FOK was this little bastion where Dutch speaking people could find each other. Really hope that isn't lost.
I think it would be great if the English area of FOK would grow as large as the Dutch area is now.

English is a great language and far more beautiful than Dutch.

Waarom zouden ze graag op FOK posten? Er zijn duizenden plaatsen op het internet waar je ook terecht kunt. Voor Nederland is FOK vrij uniek, maar als Amerikaan zie ik geen enkele reden hier te komen posten. Daarom zal dit subforum vooral een plaats worden waar Nederlanders zich naar elkaar belachelijk maken met beroerd Engels.quote:

Everything on the Internet, ok not everything, is in English. FOK, for me, is a nice little bastion where Dutch speakers can find each other. In my honest opinion I don't see the need for this. There are lots of sites with information in English about the Netherlands.quote:

Best thing is to simply try and avoid them, they have nothing better to do than to see who are the easiest to upset.
Some even see it as some kind of contest, even though I find that thought alone to be somewhat sad really.
No need to feel sorry about itquote:

Just for the same reasons there are Dutch people posting on American, English, Chinese, Turkish r Bulgarian BB's.quote:

Again I'm sorry I don't have the same opinion you have but instead of name calling you could try to discuss this?quote:

We have a subforum called 'feedback' on FOK! where you are allowed to be a vinegar peeguy, please try it there instead.quote:

Too bad I kinda lost touch with most of the English speaking people I hung out with before I stopped gaming online in international clans, so I don't actually know that many people I could invite right now.quote:
