@EddieKal If you click the 'MS' link in Smokey's message, it'll say:

There must have been some spam with
university of Kerala
as a substring at some point.

If it isn't particularly obvious, it's usually better to check MS (metasmoke) to see what reason is listed for the report.

hey guys, if I am able to only speak and understand a language (and not write or read) then what am I in it?
Eddie Kal

@AIQ illiterate
AIQ
@EddieKal Wow harsh!
I see, eh I was writing up a question ...
Eddie Kal
@AIQ Illiterate does have negative connotations, but literate
is
used to refer to someone who can read and write in a language
She is literate in both English and Spanish.
--Merriam Webster
conversant yet illiterate
Oh I just saw your question. You already mentioned conversant
AIQ
Yeah, it's a little tricky to come up with the right word. I don't want to use a word that over sells my ability
"Spanish (illiterate)" might really confuse the hiring manager, might think I am trolling or sth ...
haha

@AIQ In the case of resume writing I would list individual skills, like: Spanish (speaking, listening: proficient; reading, writing: intermediate)
AIQ
(speaking and comprehension only) might reflect the issue perfectly, but I have never seen this ...
Eddie Kal
Btw, out of curiosity, where did you learn Spanish? In Canada?
AIQ
noo "Spanish" is just an example
it's actually "Hindi"
Eddie Kal
Ohhh, I see
I thought it was Spanish because you've tossed around some Spanish phrases here
AIQ
I am learning Spanish now
I am not listing that though
Eddie Kal has a Bengal Tiger as his avatar?
Eddie Kal

@AIQ Haha Tigger the tiger
AIQ
Majestic animal. We have destroyed them.
Eddie Kal
They are not extinct, are they?
AIQ
Not yet.
Eddie Kal
It's a difficult balance between the economy and nature conservation.
AIQ
That is understandable; what is not, is poaching.
