<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>People who are multilingual often shift between languages like that. My great grandmother would speak in English, but revert to her native Welsh when she got angry. When two people who speak each other's languages meet, the result is usually a mixture of the two.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, but still. When people get angry & start speaking in another language, it's usually 'cause they don't want you to know what they're saying. I just think it's rather unrealistic, if people are just talking, they don't just shift for no reason, usually. Once again, I suppose I could be wrong.
