So you could mail me the next time.

Well, it certainly doesn't bother me at all. It's a global forum so us English speakers should expect there to be some foreign words written here sometimes .

Yes, but they should be followed by an English translation.

That's a fascinating site. Thanks for posting it. I hope she doesn't get sick from the radiation, going into those abandoned areas. Yeah, I know she carries around that geiger counter and stays away from the really dangerous spots, but it still sounds risky...

600 years for the radiation level to go down sufficiently to be able to live there again... that's a LONG time!

I just couldn't help but say this....

Well if they should post an english translation, why shouldn't you post a Dutch translation of your Posts? Sounds fair to me....

Nope, not at all. This is an English speaking forum. If we were on a Dutch speaking forum, it would be a reasonable suggestion though. The entire purpose of a forum is for people in different places to be able to communicate with each other and understand each other. A common language is necessary towards that goal. Otherwise, everything falls apart...

I disagree. This game, and more importantly the various companies that make money off it, each in their own little way, want to reach as many people as possible, including those five, or so, billion people outside the U.S., the British Isles, Canadia, Oz, and various other English-speaking places.

In addition to that run-on sentance (or was it?) I offer that I don't mind conversations that go on that I can't understand.

As far as radioactive iodine goes, much of what we know about it was learned at Chernobyl. The medical applications of that knowledge saved my wife's life--radioactive iodine is used as a treatment for thyroid cancer. At least there's usually some good in everything.

Nope, radiation therapy for thyroid malignancies has for what I know not been affected in any way by the chernobyl accident.
That treatment is old and well used before chernobyl.

Hi,

Fyron, I already said that it wasn't polite to do so, but I made one small comment in Dutch.

So here the translation : "It's about time that they all learn Dutch" not that important I guess, but maybe if the Dutch never sold New york (New Amsterdam in that days) to the Brits. The whole world was speaking dutch right now (imagine )
