Re: Question for non-English/ ESL speakers....

I agree that it was totally the cool factor.

And while those particular words wouldn't look like that to native speakers, in other cultures speaking with words that are perceived as harder to know and learn gives the speaker a certain status between his peers (they may be doing it on an unconscious level, though, something so ingrained in that culture to this point thay might haven't even notice doing it)

At least, that's how it is in my country.

Yeah, it wasn't as if it were a studied thing, it was just in there in random, rapid conversation.

But they've got to learn them somewhere, right?

They weren't born with that knowledge. Thus, them using them makes them look as if they did studied them, even if they learned them on television or in the streets. For example: where I live people would use words in quick conversation like "benchmarking", "forever alone", "queue", "know how", "posting", "branching", "cheese", etc. Almost all of them have a proper equivalent, and yet, people use them to look knowledgeable and cool.

...are you serious?

So, because in your country, people use the words of other languages due to them being "cool," it must be so in every country?

Here's an idea: why don't you stick your self-absorption up your fucking ass and rotate?

How about you respond to the second sentence?

Re: Question for non-English/ ESL speakers....

Funny, I read ayrt's last sentence as a disclaimer that they only know how things are in their country, thus acknowledging that it doesn't apply to all countries.

Maybe you should remove the stick from your ass and learn to chill.
