I think some people have more trouble completely eliminating certain aspects of language when trying to speak a secondary language. I have friends who learned English as a second language and, even though they speak and write it very well, they still cuss or use interjections that are in there primary language. I guess if I became fluent in Spanish and tried to communicate in Spanish there would be at least some English interjections and stuff that may translate over. It doesn't really bother me, but I guess I am used to it having had a few friends who aren't native English speakers.
