No they speak perfect English. I wish I could
speak as clearly as they do, it is their comprehension that is
lacking. I teach English for a literacy group and understand what
the problem is. Much of it has to do with the many idiomatic expressions
that we use and are not understood by individuals that learn English
overseas.
You might learn Spanish or French in the states and speak it fluently and
yet when in Mexico, Spain or France not be able to hold a conversation.
They too have many idiomatic expressions that are not taught here.
If the fault lies anywhere it is with Dell for
their hiring practices.

Kate,
I don't think it is anything more than our older ears not hearing the
wording because of the accent. On the tube, or radio, I do not have any
problem with that family of accents, but I do on the phone.
Someone called us the other night wanting to talk about (garble, to me)
bank card. After asking 3 time for him to repeat, and never getting it,
I hung up.
It would probably be the same if the accent was Cajun: tough on the
phone. Don't know if this was Ira's reference, but it is my guess.

When you have problems with any company, do you blame the employee or the
corporate powers that be? The ingredients of the product or the producer?
It is unfortunate that the tech companies have chosen people to
represent them that do not meet the standards of the customers. Perhaps one
should question the ethics of these individuals who could easily choose
Indians and Pakistanis that communicate in English at least as well
as Americans.
Enough said, because of a deep respect for both Ira and Earl who both
have contributed far and beyond to our success in this business.
Sincerely,
Kate
