People want to show off their English skills. Most people who choose to passively show off their skills (without coming up and actually addressing the listener) speak in a way that fully betrays their lack of understanding.
The following are different ways that people show off their English skills around town.
A group of children on the corner.
"Hellohowareyouwassyourname!?!"
"My name is Annie. What is your name?"
"WelcometoJordanIloveyou!"
A man sitting in a restaurant on the other side of the privacy curtain that guards us women from being seen eating.
"ohmygod.......(waiting for a reaction from our table of Americans)........Ohmygod. (waiting)...... OHMYGOD."
While I was standing at the bus station waiting for a friend to arrive, a young man holding a box of old shoes passed by me.
"I am from Los Angeles. Fuck you."
