1.6 Rugby Union Language
No rule on the language to use on rec.sport.rugby.union has been set out in
the group charter. However, there is some sort of convention that posting
in any language should be allowed, because RSRU aims to be a forum for
Rugby Union fans worldwide. Unfortunately, there are always going to be a
few reactions to a non-English posting that one must speak English in an
English group. It is hereby made clear that this is not mandatory and that
everyone may basically post in his own language. Still, this is a
discussion group, so you might want to write in a language actually
understood by a few of us, in order to get the discussion going.
Please be aware that, despite Rugby being a sport mainly for native
speakers of English, some subscribers to the group don't speak English as
well as you do. Please accept this. After all, according to the Official
RSRU John Hill's Law, flaming a poster for poor spelling and/or grammar
means you've lost the argument.
If you're not sure of your spelling yourself, you could add the suffix
(sp?) to the word you're not sure about.
