Lest you think otherwise, just because you're born here doesn't necessarily mean you speak the English language as she is spoken, or even American. Just recently I had the privilege (?) of having two college age girlies in front of my stand, where for some fifteen minutes I heard nothing but "oh my god", "awesome" and "like" in various combinations. Unable to take any more obliteration of my mother tongue I leaned over the stand and asked the two if by any chance they were English students.
The comely blonde informed me she was an architecture student, to which all I could think was that the student body was in great shape (or hers was). When the second said she did indeed take English I looked at her and archly said-"as a second language?"
