[jimmyrules712]

[james8547]

My English isn't that great, and I actually speak it. :D

After being married to Asian women in the past it makes absolute sense to me as it is stated in the .jpeg. What did you find wrong with it?

[M. A. Dockter]

The fact that a company that does so much buisness in the United States failed to make a program adhere to the language spoken by the target market...pitifully funny really.

I wouldn't say that Asus doesn't know English. From reading that message, I would say that the only thing wrong with it is that it is missing one "s", which would make it: "It needs to reboot the system to make your change take effect. Are you sure you want to reboot". And I believe that is a perfectly acceptable English sentence.

Its better english than a lot of American's speak.

I believe someone else on this forum shared that site. It's funny!

It's just subject-verb agreement. I worked at a college nearby as a tutor. These people who are high school graduates have come up with far more deadly mistakes. The stuff I proof-read there are really bad. I'm sitting there hoping they were just stoned and / or drunk because we're screwed if they got out of HS with those kind of English skills.

As long as you can understand the question, what's the big deal?

Abit is a heck of a lot worse. No joke. Just look a few pages in on their website.

I mean if you had the next best thingy that was the rage in China would you learn Chinese, or French for that matter.
Once you pay for it it is yours. You keep buying, more cash for me, because I ain't spending money on interpretors.
It's the American way, capitalism at it's finest.

The fact that someone goes to college in the United States, and failed to spell check a post.....j/k ;)

It's just like the dubbed movies, something gets lost in the translation.

If it was targeted to the language that people speak here, then it would say something like this:

"You gotta, like, ya know, reboot now for the changes to take effect. You wanna do that now, or whatever? Click 'Uh huh' or 'Nah'"
