Remember, EM POC only!

How are you all doing? Anything exciting you wanna share? Anything you wanna share that’s not so exciting but rather frustrating instead?

Spill it all here, comrades.

    It’s especially more shit when English is a co-official language of someone’s personal nation of origin, and people keep on using {Insert language}-ish, a mix of native tongue and English, to commonly communicate…

      Definitely. My partner’s home country is basically in this situation after the british were done with it. To the point where my partner comes from a family that only spoke english at home (or rather a mix, like you say, but it definitely leans heavily english). They now find it extremely difficult to learn the language of their diaspora later in life due to dyslexia, as well as social stigma of not knowing it and others not seeing them as >ethnicity< enough.
