Language, Motherfucker, Do You Speak It?

Bert & Fonx

Society & Culture


Fonx has been speaking English for 50 years now. In fact, Fonx has been speaking English longer than Bert’s been alive. And yet, his English still sounds weird AF. Are there disadvantages to a multilingual upbringing? Does making room for other languages in your brain make them have to share a confined space? Could it be that Fonx doesn’t know as much English as most natives do? …or does he?
