Go figure.

I think taxexile has it nailed.

I guess what she means is "I am Thai, I know when to use it"

In every language, depending with whom you're speaking with, you won't use the same words. I don't use the same words when I speak to my friends, my colleagues, my customers or my boss. But I know the difference and won't call my customer a cheap charlie (at least not in front of him) because he chose the basic options.
