This goes out to everybody who has parents or grandparents or any form of relative that doesn't speak english too well. Do you ever find yourself speaking "engrish" with them (even though we can speak fluent english) because you think that they won't understand if you do speak in english?
For example: Grandma: Where you go today? Jane: I play basketbon with fren.

my mom understands english, but hates speaking it. and when she does speak it, it's hilarious. like when she's driving and something annoys her she almostt always burst out with "CHET!" meaning shxt. it's the funniest. she prefers we not speak english to her but when we do it more like spaniglish.. "ma woo-airs la cosa dats for cleening?"
 it's terrible.
