It can't be easier to speak and act in a way that isn't even native to your continent, much less your own life until you started getting enamored by people who couldn't really give less of a **** about whether you speak their jargon or not.
I guess it's all a personal choice, but I still think it's retarded.

Yeah, i think people should stick to whats correct in their own country and I also absolutely agree that I could not care any less to argue over whats "right" and whats "wrong."
I mean, sure I sometimes joke around ie the whole football/soccer thing but some people take this stuff really seriously. I'm going to talk the way I talk regardless because it's correct for the part of the world I reside in and because language is forever evolving and changing anyway.
