Certainement,

Le poteau entier que je me référais a été écrit en anglais
(l'anglais faible, mais l'anglais néanmoins), ainsi j'ai répondu
en nature. Je ne vois rien mal avec faire ceci.

En outre, quand quelqu'un des poteaux dans un foriegn de
langue à moi dans un newsgroup d'anglais, j'ont la décence
pour leur permettre l'utilisation de leur langue de donner leurs
pensées.

"traduit par Babelfish"

[ ainsi ne me blâmez pas ]

======

Once again in that dreaded English language....

Certainly,

The entire post I was referring to was written in English (poor
English, but English nonetheless), so I responded in kind. I
see nothing wrong with doing this.

Besides, when someone posts in a language foriegn to me in
an English language newsgroup, I have the decency to allow
them the use of their language to convey their thoughts.

"Translated by Babelfish"

[so don't blame me]
