in reply to [PT_BR] Escrever em Português no Perlmonks

Sabe o que é mais engracado? Todos que comentaram neste node, mesmo que não falassem português de alguma forma conseguiram entender o que havia sido escrito! Isso faz eu me lembrar de uma ONG chamada Hipatia, na sua lista de discussão todos falam na sua lingua natural... e todos se entendem... Sem querer botar fogo, mas acho que é uma reflexão válida.

Do you know what is really funny? Everybody who commented on this node, even if don't speak portuguese, in some way understood what was written! This make me remember of a NGO called Hipatia, in their mailing list everyone writes in his natural language... and everybody understands each other... I don't want to flame, but I do think this is a valid concerning.

    The explanation for this is pretty obvious, don't you think? Those who did not understand a word of the original post probably didn't bother with it, so they did not participate. This is a case of "self-selection bias".

      Yep. Like those that don't speak english don't come to the monastery, because it's useless to them.

    Well it makes sense, doesn't it?

    Those who don't understand, CAN'T reply.

    Obviously, those who reply, understand.

    It's not that hard to see it, you know? There's probably a bunch of people skipping this thread because they can't even figure out what the #$#%@!# title means!!!

    Actually, I didn't. I started reading after people started writing in English.
