Wow, I'm a South Korean married to an American, and I've been in the US for 15 years too. Your comment is fascinating. I'm gonna have to devise some tests to see which pidgins my husband is sneaking into his English when he talks to me!
The switching back-and-forth in social occasions worries me -- it may be all good intentions, but I want to have better contol over how the 3rd party may perceive us/me.
It is definitely interesting to hear the observations from the native partner's point of view, and the "coping" stories from the other side :) Thank you.
