Why do you assume that all frum Jews speal Yiddish? Not everybody came from Eastern Europe and others come from backgrounds that didn’t speak Yiddish. For example, my friends son is now chareidi, but, since he spent 12 years in a MO yeshiva, speaks fluent Hebrew but no Yiddish. In reading your recent post, you seem to take pride in using as little grammar, punctuation and spelling as possible. However, if you make it difficult for a reader to grasp your point ( including using Yiddish at critical points ) how do you expect to make any impact or to explain your position?
I don’t speak Yiddish as my father’s family came here in 1870, was completely assimilated and my father became a baal tshuva at age 38 when he and my mother msrried.
