Your comment, "I might as well try to sing rap music with a person using "eubonics" as a means of communication," may not have been meant to be racially motivated, but your choice of example might be viewed by some as just that. Especially, by those readers of the African American community.

Your statement might seem to suggest that persons living in our cities urban areas are not capable of speaking Standard English. Although, you and I both know that is not the case, nor do I believe you meant it that way. And I did understand the meaning of your comment. Overcoming language barriers always present a challenge.

Other than that your position was "spot on."

No offense bro, but perhaps the language problem is on your end. I have noticed that those who complain about having such communication problems when talking to foreigners are quite often practically illiterate themselves. While you seem to have a reasonable grasp of english, I think even you could use a couple lesson from Hooked on Phonics, so as not to say things like "understand as good".

Also, you should learn to be a bit more open-minded and challenge your biases. If one finds so many variations of english within the different regions of the same country, whether America, Canada, or England, differences between the english of different states should be expected. Besides, I am pretty sure that there are more people who speak the Indian form of english than the American form, or any other form for that matter.

I have had to speak to the Indian tech support occasionally, especially with regard to my router and ISP support, but my experience has not been that bad. They do tend to have trouble with pronouncing names, but not numbers. Go figure. :)]]>Feb 22nd 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/Feb 22nd 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/
"eubonics"? maybe you are referring to "ebonics"?

"reguard"? like you were guarding something then left and decided to come back and re-guard it?]]>Feb 23rd 2008 10:28AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/While it might be easiest to understand your own accent, it's not like your accent is the only one in the world. Just in North America there's a huge variety of accents from French Canadian to deep south. It's really unfortunate if you can't understand English that isn't in your own accent, because the vast majority of English speaking people most likely do not speak the same accent.
And seriously? If you give it a little bit of thought I'm pretty sure you can figure out almost every accent out there. I've found it fairly easy to figure out English accents from everywhere from Spain to France to China to India. Ironically the hardest accent to figure out that I've ever encountered was in England-no I didn't have trouble with the standard London accent you see in movies, but some of the more rural English accents can really test your grasp of accents.]]>Feb 25th 2008 3:33AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/Here's a particularly hard to understand one:

At least that is how it works in most corporate websites. While I can't say why, I do know what I'm talking about.... :-)]]>Feb 22nd 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/Feb 22nd 2008 2:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/
My employer (a major bank) farmed out first level tech support to India a couple of years ago and they are absolutely worthless. Not just the language problem, just the service in general is terrible. Im one of the local groups still based here in the U.S. and my users BEG me not to have to call the first-level helpdesk.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/Feb 22nd 2008 7:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/22/chrysler-and-tata-hook-up-on-computers/
And "cowboy bob"- if the way you write is any indication of the way you speak, I'm sure the feeling is mutual. ;)

Dell's outsourced tech support is worthless, my job's outsourced tech supported is worthless (we call them the 'no help desk'), and dealing with Indian contractors face to face (on other technical projects) is sometimes very frustrating.

I hope this venture fails miserably.]]>Feb 22nd 2008 6:38PM
