Hello English speaking SG users!

To start off, let me ask you how it feels to be greeted in your native tongue? Pretty good, yeah? So I decided to make a Steam group for the users of the site who learned English as a first language (EFL). That way, we all have a place all to ourselves where can socialize, talk about games, and even hold private giveaways!

Here's the link: English Speaking S.G.

If you wish to join, simply post here! :D

OUR FIRST GIVEAWAY IS UP

There is no "pure English". English itself has roots from older languages, and some vocabulary and phrases can be used conversely in other languages.

You're from Singapore and a member of several groups where English is not the main language, so I can assume English is not your native language. Sorry. :(

We got singlish, but English is one of the main languages around. As for you being unable to understand, it may be the accent we use here.

As for the other groups, I got invited into them. Especially those russian ones. Don't understand a word they are saying there.

You realize English is the lingua franca right? Most bilingual people in the world speak English as their second language, especially if they're educated.

It's pretty funny to be honest, since speaking English isn't really exclusive at all. If you want the group to be for the US/UK/Can/Aus/NZ/SA, just say so. If not, let all English speakers in.

Disclaimer: I speak English, live in the US, and grew up in the UK. Can't get more English than that and I still think this is idiotic.

What about the deaf? Their primary language would be sign language. That'd be a little unfair IMO. :-D
Plus leveraging the concept that simply because one has english as his primary language, that he'd be more apt at communicating with other english speakers to me is inane.
To me a segregate group solely for "english speakers" in a site whose main language and public is comprised of such an audience is merely an unnecessary prejudice against the minoritary "micro communities" that coexist here.
Please, don't feed bigotry further, the world has no need of it.

There's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to preserve your own culture, including language. I do fail to see what you expect to achieve with this, other than maybe trolling people and attracting closet (and not so closet) racists.

And why it would be ridiculous? And if it were not Brazillian, but any other country (because there are other groups that are a specific country only and you know about it), would you still complain?

I'm sorry but I just can't understand why that group bother you all so much. Anyway, I will not argue anymore since I got better things to do. You're acting so full of reason and at the same time you're visibly so full of yourself because everybody here seems to love you. But you don't seem to be realizing that you are being ignorant and prejudiced with non-english speakers.

Speaking for myself, I used to admire you. But after this first conversation I have changed my mind.

Well technically English is my second language, because while I was growing up I learned Punjabi first but I immediately started learning english. I figured out English before I even got into preschool though. (btw I just learned about this, I thought that I learned English as my very first language!) And I live in a place where everything is English: Vancouver, Canada!
