Why do people get so upset when others are conversing in a language they don't understand? I don't get it.
It's not just the 'go back to Mexico' ****-knuckles. I work in a pretty multi-lingual environment and some people get upset about two of my colleagues talking in their native tongue.
I quite like listening to languages I don't understand. If it's a language close to home I can play the 'what can I pick out of this that I understand game', if it's a language from further away the phonemes are interesting.
Why does it concern/worry(/intimidate?) some people?
