kajabbi Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Welcome Kamol, Many of us handle English(our native language) no better than you do. Most of us are limited to our native language, while you speak three languages. It is the majority of us who have the "limited education", not you.

arnell_umali Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Khun Kamol (I hope I guessed it right), I don't think apologies are necessary for your English (one can sense English is not your native language by your posts). I think allowances can be (or should I say, should be) made in cases similar to yours to improve exchange of information/understanding. Afterall, I believe, lists such as this were created to promote appreciation of photography (and, of course, leica). Going by what Rodney King said, "Why can't we all just get along?" I understand in Thailand, criticism is not freely given nor taken lightly (specially by the seniors). I am afraid such is not the nature of this list (although I would say this is one of the more "polite" and, more importantly, informative lists I've subscribed about Leica). My suggestion is to prepare yourself for "critisims" when posting and be selective which response to take seriously. I sure hope you stay and participate in the discussions. You will learn to enjoy it as you get to know the "characters" better :-) (I sure have enjoyed/benefitted from the list thus far). Happy snaps.

alain_besancon Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Don't worry Kamol, I guess there is here worst English than yours ... ;-) Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry_szarek Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Kamol, if you compose your text in WORD 97 or later it has a grammer checker that works pretty well, not great but reasonable. You then can cut and paste from word into the Answer area. BTW (By The Way) I do this to check my spelling on long posts. Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddy_b Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hello Kamol, I am also from Thailand. Just came back from work. The traffic was pretty bad and it was raining. Well, at least I got home in time to see my daugthers before they went to bed... I have started posting in this forum only a few days ago and found Leica crowds to be very nice (just like us Thais!).

art waldschmidt Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Kamol, Please do not feel that you need to be sorry (as you said) ..."for my education", or for your unfamiliarity with English. This forum is about Leicas and photography - and all the ideas and questions that are related to those interests. There are many folks who are highly educated (and whose English, no doubt, is flawless) who contribute little. To me, the value of this forum is in the exchange of ideas and concerns. I welcome your participation, and hope you take part. Best regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_boyle3 Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Kamol, there is no need to apologize for your English. There are many on this forum who were "educated" in English and still have trouble with the written word. Your postings are most welcome. The nature of the forum is, after all, photography - not English literature. Please stay and feel free to post your work. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_vanlane Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Please continue to post and ignore the people who lack manners. The more you post the better your English will become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay_. Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 When I was in Thailand I was much too intimidated to try speaking Thai--I was fearful since it is a tonal language that I might mis-pronounce something and accidentally say something insulting or worse. There are many thousands of people born and raised in the USA who flat-out refuse to learn English (and our over-the-top-politically-correct government responds by spending millions of our tax money passing legislation requiring multilingual signage and schooling). Kamol, you are to be praised for making such a strong effort to write in English. Khap khun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Thai have never considered it insulting when any foreigner mis-pronounces something. Furthermore, we are too impressed when someone from far away find a way to learn our language. If you have a chance to be in Thailand again, please speak Thai. You will be warmly welcomed in every places you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
