Namaste

Noooo....English is not an indigenous language.
English was created for us to keep us locked into a certain mindset.

Get out your dictionary and start studying this English language of yours. Many surprises in store.

I agree with you. Used by Westerners it is pretentious. Someone is wanting you to know how enlightened they think they are. It's an eye-roller. Whenever I see it on ATS, my opinion of the poster goes down a notch. Your mileage may vary.
Far Out.
