I’m on the phone with my ISP accounts dept. (Pablo’s girlfriend somewhere in the non-english speaking world of south Florida) I’m having to repeat the spelling of my domain name so many times it’s comical. The first iteration was
F C R U N V O D M E which we patiently corrected each letter by letter. S sounded like F, T’s like C’s… She got R, O and E right. All of this served up with a Reeky ReecardO dialect. The easy shot would be to label her as stupid or hard of hearing but it was just a language barrier. I am sure that she is fluent in her first language. I wish I had a second language. She’s smarter than me.
