Linguists: writing like this (superfluously mixing three languages in one fucking sentence!) does not make you seem like some sort of linguini houdini. It makes you seem utterly unable to communicate

@0xabad1dea yeah, that's pushing it a bit.

My favourite bit along those lines is "lingua franca", a _Latin_ term for _French language_, but these days, idiomatically, means _English_...

(And probably don't get you started either about how much of a right illegitimate stepchild of a language English is...)
