I've traveled a lot, and lived in both France and Switzerland.

You haven't. Francophones are different and way more elitist about their language.

I'm not gonna go in a long spree of anecdotes I've seen everyday.

  • I'm not offensed, it's just wrong.

    • I get the angle you're coming from, but in multi lingual countries where it's table stakes to be at least bilingual, an expressed rejection of not using language A over B is used often as a social cudgel.
