Using an occasional word or phase is ok. I left a non-English web-site on the members' list and at first was of the idea it would be okay for some non-English talk, then I spoke with a Russian person, now a U.S.A. citizen, (I use to work with him)who said it could allow messaging ETJ or any business wouldn't want to be part of. Made sense because I can't get someone from anywhere in the world to translate. There are a lot of Hispanic, Polish and other non-English speaking truckers; an occasional phrase or word is ok. Please, everyone, direct your comments on the forum to the North American trucking community. We have a lot of Canadian truckers and truck companies and the trucking community is going to be crossing the southern borders at some point, some day, likely soon. We welcome the world-trucking community to read this board and tell us about the trucking community world-wide, it just has to be in English - American or Anglo. I speak a decent Spanglish, too.
American-English is supposedly one of the hardest languages to learn because we have so many phrases and words from other languages but it's still our common ground, here.
