The following contribution deals with the relation between language and its users. English is used as an example. It shows the close connection of a language use and (political) culture of a given society in the concrete historical context. It also covers the dislike of so-called original speakers for those ones who use their native tongue as a second language in different environments. The reason for that aversion of native speakers is the understandable effort to keep their own culture identity which is expressed by their own language.
