So, one of my coworkers is feeling a little outrage.

Everyone should speak "English" God's language. Especially here in America.

Im guessing that that is the rationale too. Either way it neatly ignores level of fluency. Or rather depth of vocabulary. Example my landlady and all of my housemates speak english well enough for of to hold conversations with them and function well in the context of anglophone boston. My landlady still had no idea what i meant by saying my girlfriend plays bass. Bass is a word youre not going to need to know. I ended up taking a stab at what the spanish word might be in the hopes that portuguese had a similar sounding word. Seemed to have worked. So shes in america and speaks english fluently in the sense that she doesnt really need to think about it but if she doesnt know the word bass it might be a good idea to have her medical stuff printed in portuguese. I imagine that this distinction is a little too nuanced for the likes of ernie though.

Not to mention, drug labels use all kinds of doctor-y anatomical terms and constructions that don't come up in human conversation. I think drugstores mostly use "by mouth" instead of "orally" now, but still - nobody eats food or drinks liquid "by mouth". You "swallow" it.

So will suppositories now say by butt?

Its better than the guy that used to remark that the pharmacy looked like "fucking downtown Calcutta," whenever we had more than one employee of Indian ethnicity working

That's better than everyone in my town referring to the drive thru convenience store owned by an Indian man as Arab Alley.  Pronounced Ay Rab, naturally.

They call them "Iranian stores" here.
Doesn't matter that there's no Iranians.

I have yet to meet an Iranian-American.  I know they're out there, but I have never met one.

I'm good friends with one... we used to date.

We can only hope.
