      I’m sure you can go through their post history and see them criticizing the English language over and over. They just need someone to hate, and it is people who speak English.

      It’s a strange hill to die on, but I guess they’re going to do it.

      It’s weird that you are coming to their aid

        A language can take a lot more than somebody making fun of it. Actually, jokes are language, often enough used in smart ways.

          Do you think it is OK to hate a person based on the language they learned as a child?
