Why Do You Have To Speak English First Time You Meet Someone? by Matthz(m): 7:48am On Nov 12, 2013
I'm just wondering the reason why when we meet each other in the first time, we wouldn't want to speak the dialect(even though both of 'em understand the local language), it may even take some time for both to admit to their dialect....is it a kind of familiarity or forming i-too-go-school, and the thing is rampant among all this tip-toe girls, and if you find out later, u'd see they don't evn knw the different between "i" and "me" and "myself".lol.

So why do we prefer foreign language to our vernacular?
