A language belongs to its native speakers, and when you speak it, you are a guest in their homes.
If you are not a good guest, you have no right to complain about receiving poor hospitality.

This seems like an interesting concept.

This could explain some experiences I made in England - maybe because I tried to speak English and so turned out to be a bad guest. ;)
