Spanglish, Why do homies speak spanglish? Options

[soto2000]

So my wife used to subscribe to Latina magazine. She canceled the subscription because most of the articles were written in splanglish. She is also hispanic, but her coconut parents refused to teach her spanish. I on the other hand speak Spanish fluently, having been raised by Mexican parents who refused to learn English. So when she told me about the articles I was shocked then disgusted. Why can't our people either speak 1 language at a time --English or Spanish -- either one, it doesn't matter, but not both. Not only does it make the person speaking spanglish sound ignorant in either language, but they make it hard for those that only speak one language to understand.

I think people do that in many languages. I do it at home all the time. I speak Deutchlish. German and English. Hah. I could understand where it would be strange for it to be in a published work though.
