Noticing v. anecdotally - in #academia - how quickly 'n often monoligual speakers of English in my #UK context go on the defensive (in their tone of voice - a mix of sarcasm/affront) when presented with non-English sources and references: eg. 'would be nice to have an English plug-in for that!' or 'not all of us are multilingual' and 'I don't feel this is a very inclusive space'.
