Why is it considered impolite to speak a foreign language around people who aren't even involved in the conversation? I could understand the objections of someone who's a participant in a conversation, but if someone isn't taking part in a conversation, then it's none of his business what's being said in the conversation. If anything, if someone objects to a foreign language being used in a conversation that doesn't involve him/her, then it implies that he/she wishes to eavesdrop, and that's ruder than anything!
