Jet, it would probably be helpful to explain the context of your statement. Otherwise, it could be perceived as being racist. At the very least, it could be hurtful to those who speak languages other than English.

Both Gemme and apocalipstic make very good points with their replies.

Care to elaborate so others might better understand?

Do you mean maybe when people speak in another language on purpose so you won't understand them?

I believe it is funny when people try to do that to me, and I know what they are saying and respond accordingly! Grin!
