RE: I swear to G*d
Back to the original complaint about offshore tech support.
Sometimes it's humorous:
Tech support: "Hello. I am Steven and I am helping you."
Me: "Ah yes. I am Asok and I am needing your help" (not really, but I was sorely tempted.)
Sometimes it's just downright annoying. There have been calls that have been ended mid-call because I couldn't understand what the person was saying. Nothing racial or ethnic or prejudicial about it. In fact at least one of those calls was from someone in U.S. that spoke English with a southern accent so rapidly I just couldn't understand her.
Most often it's just difficult. Understanding people who have a heavy accent is difficult. I imagine that they have as difficult a time figuring out what I'm saying at times.
Once in a while it's fun. I've had great side conversations with people from the Phillipines, India, Australia, and Canada while waiting for computers to load or do whatever. But overall, it's most pleasant to deal with techs who are easy to understand.
