Interesting.

I've found that once you are bilingual and the person you are talking with is also bilingual, you tend to mix the two languages. Sometimes Japanese has a great expression, but the same thought can't be easily explained in English and visa versa.

But is code switching the same as franglais?

Also, can you image the nightmare of having to try and codify it?
