If i understand well what you mention as filters are the Post Privacy levels?

Btw on Pinafore (don't know if you have it) there is a feature I don't yet understand its purpose.
Do you know about it?

@globcoco

Those would be the controls to create a new post, with a Poll, a survey -- with a few choices that you can define.

Does anyone has used this functionality.
Are there example so that i can better understand how to use it - or not?

@design_RG @hansw
I just got its purpose. Thank you.
Btw, when I go for multiple choces, it doesn't stay on the toot and goes I don't know where...

Now new words to learn:
* Borken, a synonym to broken but so much fun to spell😋
* Woot??, a word that says well if you didn't choose yes or no, it means that your a weirdo, but woot is much more fun to say😂!

@Sphinx @globcoco @hansw well, everyone in this topic, so far, is English as a second language speaker. We just hone and polish our skills, we all get better. Keep at it, Sphinx.

@design_RG

Thank you, sometimes I feel like I wish I can erase my memory about the Chinese language and fill in with English so my English could get better. i remember you can speak Spanish

@globcoco what's your first language if i can ask :)
@hansw correct me if I'm wrong you live in NL right?

@Sphinx

It is a radical cultural difference, from Chinese to all the European languages; making it more difficult to learn.

For us who speak one of the Euro languages, learning another is sometimes so much easier since they do have common inheritance, all the way back to Latin roots and words.

But Mandarin has a lot of History, Chinese culture goes back 5,000 years and that is something to be proud of.

I’m happy to see your view about Chinese language and culture. There are four tones for each word is a big challenge for beginners. and Cantonese used in Hong Kong and some areas in china mainland like Guangzhou. And traditional Chinese writing in Taiwan and Hong Kong
For your information😀

@globcoco @hansw

@globcoco

In my view, it is like this. Four areas I am going to talk about. China mainland; Hong Kong and Taiwan and Macau.
In china mainland, different towns there have diverse dialects. When they went to junior high school. They start to learn mandarin together. After that mandarin is the common language to communicate. In the city, they start mandarin at primary school or when they were born. They learn mandarin from their parents

In Hong Kong. Cantonese and traditional Chinese writing same as Macau. But Macau may also speak
Portuguese I am not very sure.

In Taiwan. Traditional Chinese writing and Taiwanese. (very close to mandarin sounds but have a different way to say some words. I like it .sounds better than original mandarin)

To answer your question. Yes, there are many languages.

@design_RG @hansw

@design_RG @Sphinx @hansw
Completely agree with that Rob.
@Sphinx, you have amazingly rich and complex languages and culture.
I have studied a bit the Traditional Chinese medicine with the 8 limbs and the understanding of the interconnections between organs and functions is a wonder!

I'm from Frog Land🇫🇷 🐸 😊
It's funny it does take me some time to ease back into it.
Although I know that if I'm surrounded with english speaking people I kinda get back some irish accent😜.
Lol.
Writing though has always freaked me out in either languages.
So what is happening now with you guys is a very good thing for me to get past some believes I have about myself.
Thanks a lot!
