And all the Mexicans think I am a "posse"....just a heads up: posse = entourage!...That would be posey? So, yeah! all the Mexicans think that I am a posey!

The matter at hand is as narrow as broader as it might seem. I grew up attending English school, and barely making it after Good morning and How are you and What is your name, it finally came to me: Speaking English is a necessity, rather than a choice presented to you at the school, whereupon you will be reported if found speaking Nepali.

In the US, I have seen people speak English in all kinds of tones and dialects. I myself am one of them. I have an accent: meaning I sound like I am posing in English. All of us are. And I have seen teenagers forget speaking Nepali after just a year or too, and Middle aged still speaking accented English after 20 something years in the US. The problem here is the mindset. It is, in other words, called stereotyping. We make fun of Indians speak English { I am very good at mimicking them}, and I have been made fun of my English. So, it is a vicious cycle. We make fun of Indians and Mexicans and Americans and Nepricans make fun of us. Simple as that. If you cannot speak English fluently, that is not important. If you cannot speak Nepali fluently {which I bet a lot of people claim they cannot, and I feel for them}, that is no big deal either. As long as your listeners understand you, it really doesn't matter. F**K sounds a lot cooler then C***E, so does churot sounds better than cigarette. It is just a matter of time when we will also speak full fledged Nepinglish.

In the age of globalization, whining about spoken language accomplishes nothing. We should let Nepali remain the first language, and English the second. If you want to develop anything, it is confidence and fluency, in whatever you speak.  Mix all you want, after all, it is you who will have the hangover!!
