a few friends are currently organising things via a group email. 1 person on the email has decided they will reply to one of the organisers, ( there are 3) in a different language. the email was written from the 3, in 1 language, which all the recipients speak and read and is the native language of every one on the email except 1 of the organisers.
is the person who is replying in another language being rude or am i just being a cow?
( i have no idea what the person is saying as i dont speak the other language, only the 1 organiser and the 1 other recipient speak said language)

they cant be doing it without noticing, once i could have totally inderstood, but when it was pointed out they have carried on doing it.

Unless they are quite technically declined, and don't understand that they are hitting "reply all" rather than "reply to single sender". It's often done.

anyway, I don't think it's worth getting het up about. If the organiser wants you there or needs you to know something I'd just wait for their messages (in appropriate language) & ignore the rest.

or you could use babelfish to start sending your messages in a variety of languages. Grin

Love Hecate's idea. Send a reply in Russian or something, g'wan.
