I feel like all of my old games have been thoroughly invaded by dark spiri- ESL players.
I try to play normally like I'm in a single player game but I wish I could talk to my teammates like back when the internet was newer.
but EFLs - English as Foreign Language also do not have great grammar and so on
and there's way way more of them than ESLs (so non-native English speakers living in the few English speaking countries)
KEK just realized that no one uses these terms correctly (including me).
i probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart, but natives might be able to pick the nuances.
Why the frick would someone make the F in EFL mean 'foreign'? Considering the S in ESL means 'second', usual assumption would be that it means 'first'.
>bully americans for only speaking 1 language, and the inferior version at that
It's fine if it's tongue-in-cheek banter with your american pals, but if you should understand that hearing someone insult us in a broken, stilted version of English just sounds funny and isn't scathing in the slightest. you ever had a chinaman cuss you out? same idea.
I likely wouldn't friend you if I didn't think I could lewd with you but I'd be your bro I'm game. Outside maybe Russians, esl Black folk are generally quite nice to game with.
I don't like Dota 2 though, but that's understandable I heard at low priority matchmaking or something like that there are a lot of these people? I dunno, could be false
I don't take them seriously usually.
If you can't speak my language natively, you'll unfortunately sound moronic. It's not as bad as being racist towards you or anything, but you will always be at the bottom of the totem pole. We don't care how accomplished or smart you are, how charismatic you are in your mother tongue. You'll never be witty, authoritative, or funny in any way to the average Anglo. You'll get pity laughs and half-hearted engagement at best.
This is true for all languages by the way. You should hear me speak Japanese.
this rarely ever happens in normal settings, only when I'm arguing with someone but i have to butch something really badly, and even then it is extremely rare. i've had other ESLs attack me for my English countless more times.

yeah i thought it meant "as a first language" turns out it is the exact opposite lol. this is probably why everyone uses ESL meaning any foreigner, cause if you don't there will be multiple people getting your message wrong
ESL from Europe? Acceptable.
ESL from Asia/South America/Eastern Europe? I will relentlessly mock you then mute you.
Africans are alright, I've only encountered like three though.
make fun of him for having to learn 5 different languages

Bully the shit out of him.
Ask them how to swear in their loony toons language
I take my time and try to be nice to them.
Patience is a virtue - Proverbs 14:29
how is knowing multiple languages a bad thing
No one said it was, ESL means English second language.
it's a bad thing because English is the lingua franca of today, and when you sound like a dumb 3rd worlder hick you sound like that in gods language.
I yell the n word until they leave.
There are two types of ESL. Those who will get pissy, and those who will try to outracism you

Do you americans often encounter other ESL people besides those who speak spanish, portuguese and hindi?
Pretty frequently.
French canadians are rightfully despised by everyone in both North and South America.
Whenever you come across me you make fun of my accent 🙁
how do you tell ESL and EFL players apart?
i am the ESL. bully americans for only speaking 1 language, and the inferior version at that
bad grammer, word repetition and bad pronunciation?
>grammer
Holy ESL

call the guy some slurs
I see if they have a loose steam profile and if so I try to befriend them. ESL friends make for fun casual erp partners.
what if my pfp is something like this?
I likely wouldn't friend you if I didn't think I could lewd with you but I'd be your bro I'm game. Outside maybe Russians, esl Black folk are generally quite nice to game with.
In game.* autocorrect flub up
>Outside maybe Russians, <...>
Damn. I guess I'll have to get used to being a villain in the story
Nothing personal but with 5k hours in Dota pubs I've never had a Russian teammate that wasn't a homosexual like any other EU/US tryhard.
I don't like Dota 2 though, but that's understandable

CAUSE IM JUST A PILLBUG NUGGETS BAYBEA
YEAH IM JUST A PILLBUG NUGGETS BAYBEA
LISTEN TO IRON MAIDEN WITH ME
Speak gibberish, if the accent is strong
I kneel
Most amerimutts are ESL
Why are Americans pink? That shit truly baffles me
It's because of the demographics in USA
I wouldn't say anything. I'd listen to what they had to say and that's what no one did.
If its on dota 2, wait til he all chats something in spanish and then its el grande taco e mucho salsa the rest of the game with toxic tips
Why did Cartoon Network decide to have such soulless bumpers as of recently? The city bumpers and music videos on boomerang were holy amounts of Kino.
Did you save the thumbnail or is that text meant to be illegible?

Those "people" are probably suicidal
