Dmaxdan Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 When I wright posts, I try and use words that every native English speaker will understand, no matter where they come from. In fairness, most of the phrases in the above article don't appear regularly in the threads on TV that I read. I do think it is interesting that you can take an educated guess where a poster comes from by the words and phrases they use when making a comment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissie Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 We must re-write history. It were English speaking folks that tried to build the Tower of Babylon. With their 777 different dialects, of course they could not understand each other, therefore the Tower of Babylon was never completed. Thank god, as opposed to Babylon, in Pattaya you get by with very limited language skills. "F*cky F*cky and "tau rai" (how much), will get you through the day / night easily. Cheers.
