And not to mention the fact that these same ppl will not do one effort to speak more slowly to a person that does NOT understand English (because there IS ppl who doesnt speak it). When I speak in french to an anglophone I dont laugh at the way they have an accent and I dont speak too fast and expect them to understand whatever i say in slang. Alot of anglophones make you feel like an idiot because you make an effort to speak their language while they're in a FRENCH province and THEY should make the effort to speak yours. Sorry but that's just stupid and way too common.
