Niin sinä luulet. Liegst falsch, mon cher.

Some things in this life are supposed to be diverse but they are not really :(

Would you like 90% of the posts on this site to be in languages you don't understand?

[mrwnmonm]

Again it is not the point. English is not my native language and I have no problem in using it... but if I am replying to someone I know their own language and would like to use that (with just them) I shouldn't be forced not to do that.

Then privately message them. Public networks are not meant for that.

I will take this as an insult, thanks.

yeah, I don't speak any other languages fluently but I also find that sentiment disgusting and reductive. use whatever language you want, wherever you want.
