If there were no language barrier, there would be less problems, ingame and offline.

I can't force people to learn it, but it would be great if they did.
I'll stop talking to you now because you don't even try to read what I write and just try to provoke me with sarcastic comments which have nothing to do with what I said.
So I was actually right the first time. Thanks for clarifying.

According to your very convenient etiquette standards Americans and English can be polite just by speaking their own language.
Westerners can be polite by learning a language similar to theirs, and as such pretty easy.
Japanese to be polite have to learn a language completely different from theirs, which is a remarkably hard task.

So your stanard of "politeness" involves something easy for you and hard for them. Exactly as I said before.

Yep. Very convenient, and completely nonsensical.
