If two people get together, one speaks one native language and, after years of schooling, a little bit of the other person’s language; the second person speaks a second native language and, after years of experience, a little bit of the other person’s language; does it really matter which language they speak to one another, or is it more important that they’re trying to understand each other and are communicating?
