Actually this bugged me quite a bit when my dead friend would do it.

Like you were in the room and he and someone else kept having a "secret" conversation in their own language via a Ouija board?

[Barry Hollifield]

learn a language that they don't know and use it in front of them. see if it annoys them.

I don't have the time. It's easier to just bitch about it.

[Ray G.]

Seems like it would be a bit rude to do it in the middle of a conversation.

[Buk Was Right]

What if you were in Israel and were fairly fluent and you had another friend who was fluent. Wouldn't you prefer to speak English? I can see why it might be a little uncomfortable, but I don't think it's rude.

Yeah, but this is America and we speak 'MERICAN goddamnit!

I don't care if I walk in a room and they're speaking hebrew,but when we're discussing something in a group setting then I think it's wrong. If I lived in Israel of course I'd prefer to speak english,but I wouldn't do it in front of a person who didn't speak it.

[ernster]

can somebody explain the difference between american and english? and don't say tea and crumpets or bangers and mash. i mean language.

P'shol nachwee.

Oh qua tanzen wan.

[Ray G.]

My mother actually used to do this whenever she wanted to discuss me with her friends.

I learned Hebrew for my Bar Mitzvah and ended that.

[Barry Hollifield]

Oh qua tanzen wan.

Now it's happening here. Oy!
