LOL, again i'm sorry if that wasnt clear. I have noticed at least around here, young Filipinos still prefer to use English around friends they know speak the same language, because it's just what they do with other friends (Usually company is mixed). Only when they want to say something private in mixed company would they use Tagalog (most of them are, around here). Some only understand the language, but cannot speak it, so they often reply back to their parents in English. ________________________________________________ All the simple things are simply too complicated for my life
