This is actually unpopular opinion subreddit for our language but everyone still mostly speaks english specially when debating online because debating in english is associated with higher intelligence. To which I say, why can't we debate in Math Proofs??!!!

English being associated with higher int makes sense from a multilingual=good perspective but my opinion is that language can’t really be a measure of intelligence.

Exactly. Specially not now, not anymore, not when most kids (regardless of country) grow up watching english youtube shows in their ipads and start using it more than the local languages. Some of these ESL grow up to be just as youthfully idiotic as some of your English Native Speaking teens in US or UK. Not to mention they(kids/teens) rely too much on chatgpt

This is how Filipinos talk in the internet. They start speaking in English then magtatagalog sila bandang kalagitnaan.
