I understand that language is sometimes an impediment to communication, moreso to understanding. I found the expression funny not because the sender was not fluent in English, but because he meant that the main server crashed, made all processes stop, and all programs from that server appeared to users as if the sessions have just hanged.
There's more to language than meets the eye. You can laugh at how they write in English, you can mock the way they pronounce certain words or speak certain expressions, but you can never ignore the dynamics of working in a multi-cultural environment...
Especially if you're the foreigner.
