Imitation is the greatest flattery.
just to qualify this statement, how extensive is your experience dealing with an American college student
BTW, quite a bit of experience.
and even so, it must be “sanctity” to which the person can relate. Rudeness will just turn people off, and is itself the opposite of the sanctity we seek as a means to be megaleh the shchinah in the world.
Please re-read the OP. Once done, lets try and honestly relate to the OP whose reaction is a definite, not just to the “American college student” whose reaction is hypothetical. Thank you
