Yep, my little girls is becoming a pre-teen, and she sure hates being called one π. Funny how our environment affects our language, here in Cambodia I sometimes talk in Khmer to myself when planning out the day, and there's no logical reason for it, and when I notice myself doing it I stop immediately and think in English.
Interesting... I don't know much about the Kmer language, but does it maybe have to do with fewer meaning or fewer options, which makes it easier to think to yourself?
When I read/hear stories like these, I could kick myself for not studying languages, because these stories of how languages evolve, mix, etcetera are so interesting.
