If the barber conference language were Latin, and some Spaniard insisted
on speaking Western Andalusian, I sure would consider that obnoxious.

Similarly, I've heard some Finnish representatives in the Nordic Council
complain how the Danish insist on speaking Danish. The official language
there is Swedish.

I don't understand your reaction. The rest of us are willing to walk a
mile (say, Finnish -----> American English) and you are up in arms about
having to shift a foot (say, Scouse -> American English).
