I've lived in this country 17 years, was brought as a child at the age of 6, and clearly understand, speak, and write the languages of Spanish and English. This one pet peeve that I have, when undocumented students claim not to know the language their parents speak, just gets on my nerves.
I pity those being ashamed of their native language.
