I think, this poll doesn't make much sense in the way, it is ...

If you change later the poll, noone could change his/her voice once given. So you will become a false picture of what people are able to speak or understand.

And also, it is a difference, if someone is able to speak/write or to read a foreign language.
Me, for example, I can understand most of the english posts, but I am not able to write as complex rpg-posts as I do in my motherlanguage german.
Therefore your poll must differ more or be more clearly, to have good results.

Sorry about the "other" thing. And i didn't mean to get it so complicated. What language do you speak? How complicated is that? *braces himself for getting flamed for no reason*

I don't want to flame you , but I think, you haven't understood, what I have said.

Your first three choices were "english", "german", "others".
I have chosen german, cause it is my mothertongue and I don't speak only others.
After changing your poll from "others" to "both", the right answer would be "both" for me. But it is impossible to change my vote again.
And I think, I am not the only one, who made it so.

And therefor it is senseless, cause you won't get a good result from your poll.

It would have been better, if you ask: "What language are you able to speak?" or "Which language do you speak in the forum?"

NO that makes no sense at all, I mean the question "What language do you speack in the forum" because there are so many translater etc
I guess the question should be like "What question are you able to understand?"

But thats allright...
