Some people claim that using more English words in everyday speech makes you sound modern or educated, but I've seen it erode clarity in my own language. Last week, my cousin said 'We need to finalize the project deadline' instead of just saying we need to set a date—it felt hollow and pretentious. Yet, my tech job forces me to mix English terms because there's no good local equivalent for 'backend' or 'sprint'. Is keeping a language pure really practical, or are we just being nostalgic about something that's always evolving?
