yeah so on the subject of foreign languages in America, as part of my temp job I have to contact gas stations and convenience stores all across the country to get their mailing address because I have to send them a check for a program that they signed up for. Anyways, so most of the owners are Indian of course and a lot of the time I have no idea wtf they are saying because of strong accents (like really strong), bad phone connections, and outside noise so they hang up on me and then they are out of $200+ until they call us or a rep goes to their store and talks to them. I speak to a lot of hispanic people in the southwest and southern white folk who also have accents and I don't really have as much of a problem. It's these damned indians!
