Hate for Poirot Speak.

I like to use this trope alot, so I'm kinda annoyed at how people seem to have a dislike for it.

On the other hand, I use it differently--I have character use their native language for complex words, and they don't always do it--it's really more for them to flaunt their nationality.

Such as in Hellfire Catharsis--this is a conversation between Marx (The Rival, German), and Enselm (The Hero, French):

"You sure like using German alot."
"Of course! I must always flaunt my German heritage!"

"Strange. I always thought us Euros didn't like that flag-waving stuff. You sure are proud of how your arrière grand-père was shoveling dead jews into furnaces."

"S-Shut up, you Französichjungen!"

...Yeah. 

So, do any of you have a hate-on for this trope or do you find it acceptable in moderate amounts?

I supongo it's très 忌々しい　if one n'話せる　pas those lenguajes.

Also, chiste obligatoire.

If you're saying that it can be annoying to those who know the language, I always try to research and make sure I'm using correctly.

I really use it rarely.

Though, if any characters says a full sentence in their native languages, you're fucked. Because then they are pissed.

^^^ I said it was annoying (I assume) to those who don't speak it, but what you said is true as well.

@Storm: just imagine trying to pronounce that garglemesh.

To make it fair, I don't speak Russian. Or Italian. Or Korean. Or French. Or Spanish. Or Welsh. Or Japanese. 

Which are some of the languages used in the series.
