You must speak it for sure, since you understand chinglish and the gibberish coming from that guy trying to sell people into something (presumably that adapter he keeps pointing at).

I may be ignorant, true that, but I would never sell you into something using reps that don’t speak your mother’s language adequate. In my humble ignorant opinion, that is minimal business courtesy for the consumer. If you and others stop waving that away, you might as well start learning chinglish or mandarin or orange or whatever dialect they speak in the far east, for you acknowledge contempt for correct communication and language use in detriment of your own basic human rights.

It’s actually English with a heavy Hong Kong Cantonese accent, quite different from the Mandarin English accent if you’re familiar with them.

If they’re going to market this to the world, I agree that they probably should hire someone with better English. That’s not difficult in Hong Kong. These small tech companies often fail in the last mile — presentation.

But Dac, there’s something to be said for English as no longer “your” (whatever you are) mother language, but more like a global language no longer tied to the UK or the US or Canada. So I also think it’s good to be open to other accents — at least to the point that you don’t become frustrated and irritated.

I am sure that non-English speakers get ticked off by ignorant people speaking English VERY LOUDLY at them, like it’s some sort of universal translator.

You mean like using “true that”?

Not just me that thought it then.

No it’s clear that this Dac poster is a very ugly person inside and doesn’t even realize it.
As the world gets smaller people like Dac seem to get more and more fearful of people with different cultures and language.
