Ich verstehe nicht; why is Y!A Languages section amongst the more likely where you will get a thumbs down?

...despite you being taught it at school/college, or on holiday in foreign country. Some time ago on Y!A there were squeals about such questions easier to answer nowadays as a result of translation pages (with some more comical than helpful), and as a result, people reading answers just spitefully down-thumbed answerers either out of misguided suspicion of dodgy translation pages, or the usual all-British envy which befalls us small-islanders some of the time...and who starts this particular game? A well-known and well-schooled punter who is respected in the Language section, or some dolt who can hardly speak his/her own?
