And I take your point. But I also remind you that vinny and angelo use the bad words and a couple of benedictions. The rest of their conversation is in english, because they don't REALLY know guinea. They just wanna be SEEN asknowing guinea. 

 Like Calvin Candie in Django Unchained and the Lingua Granca.

Tangential to all this is Swedish. I know two guys from Sweden.
One was a transplant from childhood. He speaks both English and Swedish fluently.
The other works here and had to learn English as an adult. He struggles.

Apparently Swedish doesn't crossover easily to English. No similar roots like French or Spanish.
Anders has to go back to Sweden once in a while to relax his brain and speak freely without having to concentrate so much. He said it can be tiring after a while.
Stefan, the other Swede, says he can understand that entirely (they don't know each other).
