I turned around an said (?) the person replied "will you guys please shut up, I can't stand it. Every 3rd word you use is English, every 3rd is German and every 3rd is Danish". Neither of us were aware that that was how we spoke to each other.


Ouch, I can't stand that either. At least with English/Spanish (Spanglish). It drives me crazy. They do it quite often on the Texas border with Mexico. It makes me want to scream "Speak English or speak Spanish, but PLEASE, pick ONE."
