Iâve lived in Texas as long as I can remember, but I was born in California.
Spanish finds itâs 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 Iâm not fluent, Iâve 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?

Unfortunately you are not allowed to speak in tongues outside of those you were born into.
Also nice username.

yea, itâs irritating by way of inconvenience, especially in monocultures like the states, but it isnât wrong or a âbadâ behavior, so go for it.

As someone that does thisâŠ
People say Iâm irritating but endearing.
So take that as you will.

Depends on context.
This is the same idea as answering the phone with âTalk to meâ which is generally from a pompous arrogant character.
Like âIâm here, what do you have to say?â
ZOSTED@sh.itjust.works âš2â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Howdy howdy howdy!
I honestly canât stop greeting people like this, even though Iâve never stepped foot in a place where it doesnât snow

All the people Iâve met who did that also happened to be irritating douchebags. Now whether there is a causal relationship and what is the direction of that relationship, I canât say.
