I'm a little curious about the moderation. In most English forums, words like 'fuck' and 'cunt' are heavily moderated for.
I don't think Dutch people take as much offense, so foreigners entering here may have to get used to that.

And if things get out of hand anyway, theres moderators for those, gives them something to look forward to

What about an English 40+ area?
More and more Fuck!'ers will come to that age in a few year and maybe it's hip to combine these two logical themes?
And if you don't want to combine these two themes, maybe a 40+ area is a good idea on itself...

Although 'fuck.com' is probably taken.

I'm sure you would also be hesitant to take part in an internet community that has a .se domain.

I think part of the appeal is that this is actually a Dutch forum. If we were to make it more like the rest, we'd be just exactly like the rest and theres no advantage in thatquote:

But if this really starts picking up, I'll consider just trashing all other subfora in myat except for ENG and maybe R&P .

I rarely go outside W&T and F&L anyway. But I'd love to see ENG become a success. Especially if it attracts foreigners.quote:

Theres only a couple interesting topics over there, but that's about it.

Opening a new section in the English language, and unbanning so many turds at the same time seems to be a bad decision

In that case the Dutch people should be well above average. Most Dutch people have no problem speaking English I think. (Except for top intellectuals like van Gaal.)quote:

Apart from 'full' itself, I don't think there are words that end with it that have double L.quote:

Wasn't sure about there, thought is it sounded wrong and it did.
Always thought that useful was with double l instead of one. Thx for pointing it out.
(And if there are, I'm sure someone will correct me within the next ten minutes or so.

Ik ben een man met een onverklaarbare fascinatie voor capuchons. Ze zijn mijn tweede huid—altijd om me heen, altijd vertrouwd. Ik draag ze niet alleen, ik lééf erin. Het voelt magisch als iemand er zachtjes aan trekt, een speels moment vol onverwachte connectie. En als mijn capuchon ergens blijft haken? Pure vreugde! Een klein avontuur in het alledaagse, alsof de wereld me even vasthoudt. Capuchons en ik? Een onafscheidelijk duo

All they hear from Brits/Yanks is admiration, that 'it's so remarkable how good your English is'... Well, that 'compliment' isn't worth that much for two reasons.. 1. Politeness, especially from the Brits. Just politeness. 2. The average Brit, let alone American, doesn't speak anything other than English and finds someone able to make themselves understood in another language 'remarkable'
Ja doei.
True that. Those Yankees and British are right. However, to my own experience, the Dutch often brag to themselves that they can speak english fluently; but I do not often hear this in practice.quote:

When I attended international exchange courses, I was amazed how bad everyone was at speaking the english language to the foreign students. I did not expect this to happen at hbo level (no, not the channel).
I'm actually more amazed at German people speaking Dutch and they typically do a better job at that. But lets be honest, usually the people who's mother tongue is a bigger language and who learned one of the smaller ones, often are more motivated to do so (they chose to learn it) while the other way around you kinda have to.quote:

I seriously doubt there's a single native speaker using this forum. So I suppose this is just a subforum where we're all gonna circle jerk and show off our English.
Can we have another one for Chinese?
