I had a had a good chat with Jorge, about coding in foreign language and he said he mostly uses US English |
| # |
Jun 11th 2018, 13:45 |
neon1024 |
Mostly because the core is US English |

I think I mostly code in “American” |

madrid I agree I feel that there’s some negative comments that come through at times. I think some of it has to do with the language barrier, some with the text-format. everything else should likely be brought up as we’re all adults (though I know personally I don’t like confrontation and usually ignore the negativity where I can) |

madrid988: i agree my "pig headed" comment was uncalled for. But english doesn't have a term "semi-month" so you can't expect people to know a term you made up. |

always the same offenders too. why not try leaving all the negative energy out for a month to see what happens? |

its about you learning the right basics and ways. nothing about superior. |

if anything experience should mean you would be more positive and helpful, imo |

Jun 11th 2018, 13:38 |

bringing down others by teaming up with other negative nellies to feel superior? |

and hey, this goes both ways: people asking for advice also should be more respectful towards people giving advice. |
