they sound like a robot because americans are ing stupid, and the OS call centre people have been taught to talk differently because the insular, ignorant yanks can't understand anyone with a different accent. so what you're getting isn't really an indian accent, its a distorted indian accent trying to speak american. and i agree, it sounds ing awful. |

Right, because people from every other country are much better at understanding their native language when it is mangled. Most Americans don't have a hard time with all foreign accents, Indian is just especially difficult. If they customer svc reps aren't pronouncing the language in a way that their customers can understand, they're not doing their job.

yes, they are. when watching britain's got talent, nobody in australia (or any other part of the world) needed subtitles for susan boyle. the fact you don't appreciate the levels of insularity in your society just proves my point.

which is why indian and south-east asian call centre employees undergo huge training sessions to americanise their speech, so americans can understand them.

completely missing the point. you're throwing all the blame at employees in foreign call centres, (because you know, its really easy to change the way you speak a language you've spoken your whole life) rather than the american companies that outsource all their labor costs.

oh please. these poverty-ravaged countries know far more about the value of work and taking pride in their job than your entitlement-ravaged, insular and hugely ignorant collection of consumers. |
