Wrong? That's my opinion, I don't care that he's learned to speak English. What's written there looks suspicious to me.

How so? It doesn't look anything like those agent-written "apologies" we see, there are a couple grammatical errors and looks pretty much exactly like how he speaks.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2026 4:59 amWrong?

Man, your contrarianism is like a symbiote that just won't let go of you. Get help.

Re: DJ Pleno gets defensive
Fuck you David, that I happen to disagree about something with you does not make me a contrarian, it means we disagree about something. We'd have to poll Mariners fans to see if I was being contrarian or not. In my mind, this forum probably is more the contrarian. Isn't that the mindset here? That all the rest of the fans just like going to games and watching the hydros? That's what's funny about it. I'm contrarian on a forum of contrarians, go figure.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2026 5:03 amHow so?

That's true, there are a couple of errors. That he's become that proficient at both speaking and writing seems commendable, blows ichiro out of the water. Though coming from Japan would make it harder

Re: DJ Pleno gets defensive
He is totally fluent and its an awesome accomplishment. And so was his post. Do you expect him to lose his accent or what?? So because he is fluent in English he can't be criticized for tone deaf actions? No idea where you are going with this.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2026 4:47 amYeah, and it's not like he's fluent, and he's working on written English at the same time?

To actually learn to read and write it? That be over the topD-train wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2026 4:41 amwtf are you even talking about?Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2026 4:15 amI'm a little suspect that's even Julio being his English is limited.

Re: DJ Pleno gets defensive
He has thousands of IG posts. You think he calls his GF over every time he is on there and wants to post???
I worked with dozens of people from all over the world who were ESL. They were completely fluent in English despite being ESL could discuss highly complex Pharma forecasting concepts and methodologies both verbally and via email.
Can't believe anyone would think this is some miracle that he can make a simple IG post...
Americans are the only ones in world that aren't at least Bilingual.
I am actually Trylingual. I try to be lingual. lol
