Some people even use American Yahoo! Answers as a learning material to learn "real" English. Can you believe that? A generation of young Japanese and Chinese people learning English from Yahoo! Answers? And most of them can't even tell good grammar from bad grammar... they would just assume if native English speakers are using it, it must be correct. It's just pathetic.
Perhaps more than 50% of users are not native speakers,and they come here all for learning how you native speakers use English idiomatically.But they don't know all the questions and answers are the same like themselves instead of native speakers!

Pathetic! No not really, and yes I do see them all the time on Yahoo answers and Indians too. What I see are people who know nothing of English trying like hell to learn our language. I have to give them credit for their eagerness to do it. Can you imagine trying to communicate using Japan's Yahoo answers, hell I doubt if I could say anything legible or even come close to understanding a question. No I don't feel it's pathetic I respect and admire their interest, desire, & drive. Siro na da !

Though i do find that amusing I will not complain about people learning English. In fact I encourage it.
So come one and all and learn some broken fragmented English.

"Pathetic indeed!?'....Mnnnn. I know too well what you mean...but let us be reasonable..you could be a little pedantic..these are basically young people who absorb the jive to fit in and learn...soon they get 'sussed' on how things are...and accordingly are aware on both sides of the coin..what is said and what is written..that may be where the coin stands on its' edge.
