Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Bruno Alves are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

 Opinion on concise grammar, vernacular or colloquialisms, can not be primarily reduced to personal thoughts or feelings as if in a ego trip. In this case broadly speaking, the construct and understanding of the English language amongst the many different nations using it as a official/main language, is such that, there's little room for reinvention about what means what in which context. Among English speakers of diverse countries around the globe like Kenya, USA, Australia or the UK for example, there's always a common thread despite colloquialisms, hence the realization, despite where we may come from and that includes perfectly bilingual people, by someone that speaks it as a natural language to notice something is amiss by the way certain expressions and phrases are written by non natural English speakers. Therefore, to try and guide non natural English speakers, is in my humble opinnion, the least one should do to gently try to point out certain nuances and so on. Notwithstanding, within their own first language context, the excellence of such writers, however, when somebody obviously writes English as a second or third language, clearly unaware of certain contextual nuances and stubbornly sticks to their own translation perceptions of how the proper understanding the vernacular functions, what then? Perhaps without offending anyone's sensibilities, more efficacious persuasion methods can be recommended to highlight the situation before such contributers.

I felt "English As She is spoke" was a classic example to precisely demonstrate that. Having said so, I understand your point. Thank you.

Hello SLBedit, It's not I you should worry about. Notwithstanding all my human failings, standing openly by what I say or do, remain amongst my virtues. Sincere good wishes.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited S.C. Beira-Mar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Campeonato de Portugal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
