I just want someone who speaks english... FLUENTLY. Sometimes it can be extremely frustrating to decipher what they are saying.

We'll use nothing but fluent native English speakers when that's all we get for customers. I'd be a happy little camper if every customer I talked to could speak clear, idiomatic English, preferably with a decent vocabulary and a demonstrable amount of comprehension of basic concepts. However, as my mom always says, wish in one hand, sh!t in the other, and see which one fills up first... 🙄

So, did you stop once you needed glasses? 😉

As it turns out she was lying! 🤭

My eye-doctor never told me that. Job security, I suppose.

Mothers and their wonderful sayings. Circuit City has recently outsourced their service customer care line to a company that is located in India. To say the least, sometimes they're very difficult to understand...but I love it when they assign themselves Americanized names like "Kelly Smith" and "Jake Olmstead" (these were names I was given) to appease customers (the very dumb ones that is).

oh, you haven't heard the worst aliases. I have heard names like Jimmy Dean, Axl Rose (who used to pronounce it as ashley rose), Keith Richards, Neo Anderson, Rax Blue, Maximus, Candidus, Pearly, and a plethora of Shanias. 😳

I spoke to Jim Morrison in Prepaid care the other day. He and Keith Richards should get Axl and the Shanias and jam one day.

When I worked at Earthlink, before they outsourced everything but sales, I had to go there to train them to take my job. Part of their training they will watch American movies and tv shows and have papers from larger metropolitan areas lying around and links for American news sights so they can try and chat you up about local events to even further the illusion that you arent talking to some one over seas.

Most customers I speak with do not know how to fluently speak ANYTHING. Plus we all have an accent or dialect, it is often ignorance on some people's part for not understanding something, plus FLUENT English is ONLY in the United Kingdom where English originated from, all other forms are not correct from a linguistic perspective.

Amen

maybe fluent is a bad word to use, ok let's get people that speak UNDERSTANDABLE English, that'd make me happier

I guess for me to use the word FLUENT was rather erroneous of me. I guess i should say... Speak English to an understandable degree. NOT Ebonics, NOT with an extreme TWANG & especially NOT with an accent so think you could hit it with a rock.

I speak fluent Ebonics and maybe it makes u feel stupid because u don't.

Unfortunately, many people thing that Ebonics= Ghetto. I know this is not the case, but I dont think Ebonics is very professional. In your personal life, feel free to speak Ebonics all you want, but Ebonics does not belong in a national call center.

Perhaps someday we'll have a homogenized country. 🙄
