did you read the books at all?
itd benefit the covenant to learn english. seeing how its universal in the halo universe, it would make fighting humans far easier since they could understand what we're saying faster than having to go through a transator.
And the part of them talking to us? well what better way to taunt someone than in their own language? how is "wort, wort, wort!" supposed to make someone quiver in fear? sure, to us, "i shall smite thee!" isnt so much a taunt. But you would have to look at their culture. Grunts are always saying crap about you...and they say it about eachother as well as just humans. Elites generally treat eachother with respect. get the idea?
also, just a thought, the elites on the truth and reconciliation could be one clan that never learned to speak english. If you didnt notice, the grunts spoke english pretty well, why wouldnt that make sense?
i see no problem with elites speaking english.
