The negative point that I see is that I feel it is unnecessary; I
thought I made that clear. And I'm not subscribed; I just check in
periodically to defend myself, my view of the situation, and my
right to share my view on the situation if need be.
I do understand what you mean by it being 'unnecessary'. However,
that's defined by whether or not people want it and by the fact
that this suggestion does have a positive majority in its poll, I'd
say it wouldn't be a bad addition. Also, it wouldn't be hard to
implement which means users that find it 'unnecessary' could simply
ignore while those that want it can use it.
Oh and to answer a previous question about 'halflings'. Sorry, not
sure if it's actually a term used in English - I might only have it
in my vocabulary cause of being in an international school in China
:'D We tend to randomly translate Chinese terms without noticing
cause most people understand.
Support only if it is optional... since (currently) I only have one country
... and I'm not keen on using a flag to state that I speak English
and Hindi... it's rather apparent that a user speaks English just
by looking at a feed.
@jimmyhocky, yeah, I think we can all agree that the second country
would be optional ^^
Using a flag to represent that you speak English would be quite
difficult as well - what flag would you use? Quite a few countries
have English as their official language and it'd be weird to have a
UK flag if you haven't even lived there.
I still stand by my belief that this would mainly be useful for
people that want to represent different cultures e.g. international
students, those that have parents of different ethnicities, those
that were born in one country but grew up in another etc.
Tbh, I wouldn't use it, [but I probably will if we hit the lottery,
because my dad wants to move to canada], but my support still
stands because of reasons stated
