          Met an old British guy in a bar the other day, he kept commenting how good my English was. I think he meant well, but it rubbed me the wrong way at some like yeah, it’s not that hard, you know.

              That’s why Tolkien invented Elvish.
              He never learnt to speak any existing language.

            And then an old Japanese man walked in and yelled: “Oh my god, they know how to use chopsticks!” Then an elderly Japanese woman burst through the window and asked: “Do you know about Japan’s four seasons?!” You just nodded and took a bite of kimchi. Then from under the table popped a Korean lady and she yelled: “They know about kimchi!” And then a bunch of Chinese uncles fell from the ceiling and yelled: “Wow, you blend in so well!” This caught you off guard and you dropped one of your chopsticks. You then ate some rice with your hands and out of nowhere came a bunch of Ethiopians. The Ethiopians started going wild and yelled: “They didn’t touch their lips with their fingers!!!” At this point the old British guy keeled over and died from culture shock.
