The slang vs. legitimate sentence argument has already been had. Page 45 between Erika and Tia. She claimed to have 4 different native languages - I'd say if you have to put a sentence in an online translator, it's not your native language.

It irritates me to no end when people claim to speak languages when they really only know a few words. Not only is it senselessly arrogant, they're just setting themselves up to look like idiots when they do it.


I didn't see on pg. 45 where RFTR said she had 4 different native languages. I did see where she said Canadian was her native language.

BTW, I have known quite a few Mexican/Americans that could speak English & Spanish, & many times would forget a Spanish word while speaking Spanish & replace it with an English word...& I would laugh like Hell....but that sure didn't mean they didn't know Spanish...(just saying again...)
