saying “shalom” or “namastey” or “hola” as a non-native speaker was an irritating “hip” thing to do when that movie came out, and that’s a scene where Peter Parker is trying repeatedly to be “hip” and failing spectacularly.
wait is it genuinely irritating to sprinkle in greetings/thanks/you’re-welcomes in other languages cuz i do that a lot cuz i like learning new words 🥺
Howdy howdy howdy!
I honestly can’t stop greeting people like this, even though I’ve never stepped foot in a place where it doesn’t snow
Unfortunately you are not allowed to speak in tongues outside of those you were born into.
Also nice username.
yea, it’s irritating by way of inconvenience, especially in monocultures like the states, but it isn’t wrong or a “bad” behavior, so go for it.
I’ve lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.
Spanish finds it’s way into my everyday speech constantly.
My family is white as fuck, but my mother became fluent in college.
I took Spanish in high school for my foreign language credits.
While I’m not fluent, I’ve worked closely with people who primarily speak Spanish with a little broken English.
The little bit of Spanish I recall, and the little bit of English they know, allowed us to work together.
Is that irritating?
