I saw a McMillan and Wife ep with a detective visiting from Paris. He called one of his colleagues back home in Paris and they both spoke English. Why would two Frenchmen speak English to each other?
shareYou have not noticed this before? It happens a lot.
shareBecause us Americans can’t understand anything but American and we control ALL of TV except for weird European shows and Telenovelas…I can’t believe we haven’t cracked down on that yet!

(Generalissimo's plan to seduce the Grandmother)
The Generalissimo is arm-in-arm with a 70-something woman, telling her would like to fulfill his dream of making love to an older Puerto Rican woman. Before that he wants to compliment pictures of her grandchildren. The Generalissmo gives her some scratch-off lottery tickets and asks if they can go to McDonald's and order only coffee.
Americans hate to read subtitles.
shareThat is one of my pet peeves about TV and movies. I just pretend that they are speaking their native language to each other, but the audience “hears” English.
When people share a native language, they do not speak English to each other. I work in an Italian restaurant on weekends. A lot of the employees are from Sicily and for the most part, they speak Italian when talking with each other.
I studied German and I spent five months in Germany. It was kinda surprising to hear that Germans don’t speak ENGLISH to each other with German accents like they did on Hogan’s Heroes.🙄
