But you can clearly see that's not happening in Polish board as they had a measly 0.04 merits per post in June which is equal to Off-Topic merit/post ratio, and we all know what kind of discussions are going on there. Hell, even Announcements (Altcoins) board which is known for spam and shitposts had 2x of their merit post ratio.

I am not exclusively talking about Polish board, nor am I against anyone here. I'm just saying what happens sometimes, some weeks ago I noticed two guys, one from Indonesia and one from Nigeria, had tons of merits compared to their post count, got from local boards and they were posting absolutely nonsense on international boards. Probably it's my mistake that I didn't mark them because at some point I was like, I'll be a bad guy if I report them because they are from poor countries and probably it's their only way to escape.
Also, I had a case when one person replied me in his language and then, a minute later changed it into an English language (probably translated online).

Americans, you know. We only know how to speak English; that's a stereotype, but it's one that's pretty accurate if you're talking about the typical Walmart shopper. Blame the isolation and the education system here for that, and I'm a good example of a single-language American by the way, so I'm not throwing stones from a glass house.

You don't actually need to speak more than English Cheesy

It's pretty funny what you say because I plan to move in English-speaking country to improve my English pronunciation Cheesy

Btw don't most of you also learn Spanish too?
A little bit offtopic: While one could say that American education system sucks, it's also true that average American earns way more than average European but at the same time spends way more on healthcare than European. I am still thinking whether it's better to live in America compared to west Europe, or not. In Europe you pay so much taxes, you can't really collect any wealth. The more you work, the more you earn, the more taxes you pay.
