My pets are two cats and two chihuahuas. They expect proper English. When I deteriorate to German swearing, they know they are in trouble.

Yes I do, and if you see my replies you know I write in gibberish. I didn't even take it in school. I just sort of picked it up along the way.

Yeah, a little bit, but we have real back and forth conversations with actual communication, too.

I do talk gibberish to my animals and talk to them like they are babies/children. They usually seem excited when I talk to them however which way lol.

No, we have very deep and meaningful discussions on a range of subjects. Fluffy, who is a hamster, has recently been educating me on several aspects of how she believes quantum computing and AI will affect human societies over the next 25 years.

I talk to them like I'm talking to a human, including questions, like I'm expecting an answer. I respect their opinions.
