How do you think you'd look if you walk up to a couple strangers in a store talking to each other in a foreign language and tell them "english pls"?
    This is NOT a random store where you walk in, this is when you're working on some project and suddenly two people in your group start talking in some language nobody understands while you're trying to finish your project. I don't know, but I'm pretty damn sure most people wouldn't appreciate that.

    Also if "english pls" is already dictating how people are supposed to play holy crap what is this community coming too. Soon you'll need to write a 10 page essay in the most polite writing possible to check whether it's ok to even ask something.

    If you have a problem with people speaking a language outside your own then why not join a FC that can run all the dungeons you require in your language? Your analogy is wrong. It would be more like 4 random people being pushed together to finish a project and you demanding they all speak english regardless of their knowledge of the language just because you feel english is superior or because you don't want to be in the dark about what they are talking about.

    It's DF, you can't get anymore random than that. Those people are not OP's friends.

    Why? do you get offended too when your friends want to have a private conversation that doesn't include you? Have you even ever had experience working with people who speaks other languages? what you claim "most people wouldn't appreciate" happens about once every two minutes where I work.

    Also if "english pls" is already dictating how people are supposed to play holy crap what is this community coming too. Soon you'll need to write a 10 page essay in the most polite writing possible to check whether it's ok to even ask something.
    context matters.
