- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 2 weeks ago:
This reminds me of the time when I met a British girl during my backpacking days in Australia. She got very upset every time anyone called her Sarah (American accent), because her name was Saaaarah (long first vowel). Everyone around her did their best to accommodate her. But it never even crossed her mind that all of us intentionally pronounced our own names in a very English friendly way, to make it easier for her as an English native speaker to address us 🤦🏻♂️
- Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
I speak multiple languages, but always try to speak the language(s) that include the most people in the room. I find it very offensive when people near me speak a language that most people don’t understand, when they could have easily switched to another one, and I would never do that myself.

What? Why would anyone use a crying emoji as a laughing emoji when there are so many different laughing emojis to choose from? I’m starting to feel old…
