I’ve hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language “This is America, speak English!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

      It’s literally in the term. But yeah sure, it’s easier to just smack the same label on everything. Whatever makes you happy.

        Some words just have more than one definition is all. It’s not about me, it’s about the dictionary.
