    I think it's more of a thing where people resort to a broken form of English like sms spk, 1337 5p34k or some other way to horridly deform the language.

    Either way to resort to intentionally ruin a run because you're asked to speak proper English is indeed a tad extreme.
    On the other hand you should also rephrase the question, I, as non-native English speaker, will not resort to proper language if the person asking me is not asking it properly themselves.

    It is please, not pls.
    And if you really want to be polite it is "Can you please speak English".

    If you're expecting a long conversation in English during a time when you "don't have time".....

    Now, you may think demanding people speak English has no issues, but you'd be wrong. The English people (who ya know, the language comes from) were totally and utterly evil to the Welsh speakers, they demanded they spoke English, in school (in Wales) and you spoke Welsh? The teacher would beat you with a very large stick. So every time you demand people speak English just remember that usually when that is demanded, a teacher beating a child also demanded that.

    This thread is crazy, and based on the OP's attitude and tone, I bet a large part of the story was left out.

    If I had to guess, the OP asked them to speak in english and they didn't so the OP started insulting them, THEN an intentional wipe was caused.

    You'd be surprised how much different the true story can be compared to what the bad guy tells you on the forums.

    The issue is not the quick 2 words i manage to get out between Cure's, its the attitude to a polite request for the good of the whole group.

    For all i know, the German and French group members could in fact be speak to ME. My translations are not great, as i am still learning those two languages, but so far as i can tell, they have not been talking to me in any of the groups ive been in.

    No the problem is with fact that people take a polite, rushed request as insulting and promptly retaliate, punished the WHOLE group. I NEVER ask for perfect english, just some FORM of it as long as its understood by anyone who uses the internet.

    EDIT - It would be pretty stupid to demand exact english, when the request for it is NOT.
