Some of you missed me I’m sure. Some of you probably wonder what happened with me cause I haven’t been writing for almost a week. Well, for the first time in the last 2 years I had a without blog vacation. Although I visited it everyday I just didn’t want to write anything. I was in Moieciu with some of my close friends from back home in Bacau. It was really nice, we had great parties and I spent some quality time away from most of the civilized world. š
Anyway, now I’m back and I have to start blogging seriously again. Oh, you probably noticed that I am blogging in english now. For anyone who might wonder why this is happening … I am tired of all the stupid comments made by people who have nothing to do with the subjects. So let’s just say that I am targeting a more niched market.

5 ianuarie, 2009 at 4:53 pmWelcome back, though I’m not sure that the „not so niched market” doesn’t know english š

6 ianuarie, 2009 at 1:29 amUmmm, so by using english you try touching another level of readers?
Some may take this as usability fail, but I guess it is a personal decision.
Some may like french or german better than english, but still have an acceptable IQ š
Adrian Monoranu says
6 ianuarie, 2009 at 10:50 amOf course there are also french or german lovers but I use a google translator on this blog and it translates more easier if I write in english. š

6 ianuarie, 2009 at 5:52 pmNo offense, dar parerea mea este ca ai gresit modul in care incerci sa targetezi cititorii.
Mie spre exemplu nu imi place sa citesc sau sa vorbesc in engleza, chiar daca o conosc foarte bine. Cand ma trezesc, la cafea, imi place sa citesc romaneste.
Asta ar fi primul inconvenient.
Al doilea e ca se pierde MULT: unde sunt persiflarile si aluziile noatre, nu ale englezilor. Noi nu suntem ca ei si slava domnului nu vom fi niciodata.
Engleza e o limba impersonala, atribut ce se contrazice cu ideea de blog (personal). Englezii nu au ce se face, dar noi avem o optiune de 10 ori mai buna decat ei:)
Si in legatura cu comenturile off topic, lasa-ne te rog pe noi cititorii sa ne ocupam de ele. Noi astia de la marketing cred ca avem o samanta de cearta in ADN š (Be agressive, nu???:)
Putina „galceava” pe blog nu stica. E plictisitor sa aprobam mereu
Adrian Monoranu says
6 ianuarie, 2009 at 6:10 pmNone taken! About the criticism and the controversy in english versus the romanian version, let’s just say that I chose the more polite one. š Romanians tend to suffer from a weird form of lack of respect when they polimicize. I know, we are not all the same … but most of us, even it is from time to time, do show symptoms of this so called disease.
If you choose to write in romanian, I have no problem with that, but you should know that this is my way of protesting against rude and stupid offtopic comments. š

6 ianuarie, 2009 at 5:55 pmPROTESTEZ impotriva limbii enleze!!!!!!!!!
Cine e cu mine????? š
petronela iftode says
6 ianuarie, 2009 at 6:59 pmSi despre targeting ce parere ai?? Imi dai macar putina dreptate?
Ca sunt multi care o cunosc, dar le e antipatica engleza asta si multi dintre ei iti citesc blogul. Nu e pacat din cauza celor cu comenturile off topic sa „suferim” noi cititorii??
petronela iftode says
6 ianuarie, 2009 at 7:10 pmAm si o propunere š Sa lovim in dusman- „Mr. Low IQ” Ii oferim un sfat pe masura : Mai bine sa taci si sa dai impresia ca esti mediocru, decat sa vorbesti si sa inlaturi orice dubiu.
PS: imi cer scuze daca pragul meu de politete e mai scazut decat asteptarile.
Adrian Monoranu says
6 ianuarie, 2009 at 7:30 pmIt’s not about how polite are you in particular. Learning to express yourself in english is not such a bad thing and it’s better than speaking „romengleza” which is so trendy nowadays. š

7 ianuarie, 2009 at 6:18 pmI really think that English-speaking persons are not a niche on the Internet. š
Adrian Monoranu says
7 ianuarie, 2009 at 7:50 pmOn the romanian side of the internet they are. And strictly speaking … maybe not, but writing … that’s for sure!
Adrian Matei says
9 ianuarie, 2009 at 9:54 amYou say you are tired of all the stupid comments made by people. But not stupid people, true? š And what if they use a google translator too? The comments will be also stupid, but in english. Nice going …
Adrian Monoranu says
9 ianuarie, 2009 at 1:51 pmGoogle Translator on my blog doesn’t translate into romanian. š
