hey hey
I play with a german, russian, brit, polishman, scottsman, yank.
German - his english is pretty perfect except regional dialects
Russian - Insanly crazy to undersand but this is more english grammar related and once again his regional dialect is very weird
Polishman - close to the russian but his regional dialect gets in the way
yank - speaks english but dont tell him as im sure american english is another language altogether
the northerner is just worth ignoring :)
England FTW !!
However, I live in london/kent borders
South londoners have very distinct regional dialect
North londerners speak weird
Kentish folk and deep southerners I can barely understand
Welsh ? imagine Eve in welsh !
CCP seem to have a very distinct Icelandic sense of humor whic sometimes i dont quite get.
TBH i love it ive learnt some german swearwords and discovered Russians can be funny as hell; Polish people are crazy. scottish are n00bish :)
Eve has developed its very own regional dialect :)
"my BS got WTFPwnZored by CONcordoGakkEN"
"this n00b got stuck in a roid and was Ganked by Pie Wats"
"i was in ASCN and an inty ECM and scrammed my ass while this dread Cyno'ed in and podGooED me back to empire"
Regional Dialect FTW !!

Dark Shikari, if you examine Mirriam-Webster you'll find that they present American english and that their internationality is not based in the language they describe, but rather accesibility etc.
(Not directed at DS, btw) As far as the armor versus armour, I do prefere the british variant. I'm not quite as arrogant as to claim that my own prefered spelling is the only right one, so I hope that the rest of you who insist on "correcting" people when they use slightly localized spelling variants should please take a course in social interraction. Or in american terms, swallow that load of BS before you say it.
I would like to see more games using british rather than american, for example how swedish Massive Entertainment hired british voice actors for their Ground Control title. Different flavours are good - keeps the stiffness out of the game culture.
New sig coming soonÖ
Tuxford's good for EVE. |

I don't really understand what all the fuss is about. As long as we can understand one another, who cares? The game is about having fun, and American English speakers and British English speakers can generally understand each other perfectly fine, accents aside. Why bother stressing over which dialect of English the game was written in?
While some of the posts and information in this thread have been interesting (especially the links to the Wikipedia articles and the psot aubot how msipsellnigs can uasully be udnretsood if the frist and lsat lteter are the smae), I think we've reached a point where we've exhausted discussion on the subject; most of the more recent posts seem to be rehashes of information that's already been posted.
