You think his English is bad? Out of my immediate group of coworkers, five out of seven are from India. A couple of them sound like indians from an early hollywood western. It's also related to our broken educational system -- the company wouldn't be able to find enough software engineers if having english as a first language was a serious requirement. |

I dunno. They range all over the place. At one end of the spectrum, I have an indian coworker who can handle any idiom I care to use. At the other end of the spectrum is a coworker who can't assemble a complex sentence to save her life. The latter obviously didn't use 'british english' much if at all while growing up and must have used the regional languages primarily. She says that she went to grad school in london. I figure that it gave her about 2 years exposure to english which sounds about right. And don't get me going about their seventy syllable names. Their name tags on the cubicles have to be done in an 8 point font. |
