OMG I've never been so miscomprehended in such a short succession... It's not that such sentences are unreadable but more that it acquires so much more effort and thus are being skipped more often.fikraag7 wrote:
Hey Robin-Hood don't worry about not speaking English well (I like the Monty Python quote by the way) but there are plenty of native speakers who can't write as well as you.

The translation, if you need it, is "Wow, you losers ought not to be such dumbasses"
