Good question!!
I'm going to speak for myself, and won't generalize at all!
I used to get really annoyed when my friends used many languages in one sentence, for I thought it was some way of showing off or something, but then I realized after a while that I do the same thing, but not because I want to brag, but rather sometimes I forget a word in Arabic for example and so I try to replace it with an English word, simply because I remember the one in English..And sometimes there are some words that can convey my message better than others..but then once again, people tell me that I shouldn't forget Arabic words, because it's my first language after all, also that Arabic has a variety of words so I shouldn't really need to use words from other languages! Well all that is true, but I can't help it, am a human being and sometimes - even though if I have been using the word on regular basis- my memory would betray me... I don't know if I expressed myself correctly, but atleast I tried..
