This one H-1B I was working with said he had a hard time slowing down when I suggested he try it. He claimed speaking fast was a British habbit that many Indians picked up. Another guy from Hong Kong in the same office had the same problem. What have the Brits done? ________________ oop.ismad.com

Many tribes and languages have made this modified urdu mandatory. After a while you will pickup cadence and patterns that you will understand the direction of the conversation, it will help when they try to speak straight english with you. thanx, bill same old crap, con artists ripping off fools. Ah, hell, Catholic Church it start off that way. They All do. Jesus probably had three walnut shells one pea, then he's dead and can't be questioned, Gabriel Dupre questions, help?
