"It means they speak one more language than you" is the worst comeback to someone who makes fun of someone else's broken English. Bilingual and multilingual people who speak more than one language flawlessly are the worst offenders for mocking broken speech and monolinguals. The comeback also carries an elitist undertone of mockery for undereducated, usually lower-class Americans, because to be born to an English-only-speaking family in America means you're going to get shit chance of learning a second language unless you have the money to get a private tutor or go to a special immersion school. People need to stop using the phrase as some kind of liberal statement, because it's nothing of the sort.

OK... that was supposed to go in the Dumb Thoughts subthread, but whatever?

"Bilingual and multilingual people who speak more than one language flawlessly are the worst offenders for mocking broken speech and monolinguals."

So, I see you've been around the older generations of my family. They speak perfect Spanish and English and thinks it's HILARIOUS when I or my younger relatives attempt to speak Spanish. Because save for a few, none of the older generation bothered teaching the younger generation Spanish. It was just too easy to speak English since we lived in English speaking neighborhoods and had English only speaking friends.

People who actively choose not to teach their children how to do something, and then make fun of the children for not knowing how to do the thing, seriously suck.

[diet_poison]

wow, that is rude. :(

and it's a shame your family didn't try to actively teach you Spanish because Spanish is awesome. They should be helping you learn, not mocking you - especially because at this stage in the game, it's going to require a lot of stumbling around and not-perfect practice to make progress on learning the language.

I reamed a guy out for this, recently. I was practicing a language with a friend, and he walked up and told me never to speak it again; don't even try. Why not? Because it sounds awful when I speak it. Practice is for home, and Asian languages aren't for white people.

Ngl, I was happy to turn it back around on him when he was practicing something I'm adept in, just to prove a point.

Noted. In future I'll just go with "don't be such a fucking asshole," then.
