Comment on Carenheit
Enkrod@feddit.org 14 hours agoI can tell you, that as a native German speaker, deeply submerged in English media and programming languages, sometimes I don’t remember the German word and just insert English words into my sentences and everybody above the age of 45 gets extremely angry about that, while everyone below that age will just blink, nod and then go along.
It’s a really weird level of Zweisprachigkeit when you suddenly start to mix words.

Same (not a programmer, though). Some words in other languages are more precise or fun. Same goes for proverbs and idioms.
