I have several Pinoy/Pinay friends, Americans and Canadians. Most of them know some Tagalog, but all speak English as their first language because they were born in N. A.................. to annoy them I pronounce it "Tag-a-long." Hehehehe it drives them up the wall.
"Who in the world names their Language Tag-a-long? It sounds like a vacumm cleaner on wheels!"
My friends die laughing while trying to correct me
No worries, they get me back just as bad about my whiteness.... my blinding dayglow whiteness.
