@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ The joys of having an ethnic name (there's a reason I go by AJ these days).
It's a pity I don't know how to code apps, because if I did, I'd make one that automatically plays a response when it's asked the following questions:
Where's that from?
No, I mean where are you from *originally*?
No, I mean where's your family from?
Oh, and where's that?
Have you been back recently?
You speak really good English AJ. Well done.
My mother got that once. She had been in Australia over 30 years by then. It was a politician who said it.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ Also, best of luck for the job interviews ๐ค๐
yes ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Can you speak the language? Why not?/How do you say (stupid thing) in your language? is another one.
It's not the 1980s guys...
