Indian smurfing Call Centres

[Meat Puppet]

My ISP has Americans. Hey, I’m not paying $70 a month for nothing.

It's india because those guys aren't too bad at english compared to other low cost countries.

and stop hating on those poor guys over there, they're just trying make ends meet!

Not my problem. I pay for a service. The service includes technical help. I expect people at the other side to understand what the smurf I'm saying & vise versa. Also they lie. They pretend their name is Stephen or Susan and talok about the local weather like they're here. Dickheads. smurfem. smurfemall.

I actually understand their English very well. Rather speak to them than some person from Charleston who pronounces "Dawn" like "Don" and ends up getting me embarrassed by the entire company.

I say Dawn and Don exactly the same way.


PS: THERE's MORE RIOTS HERE I WONDER IF I PHONE WILL THEY TALK ABOUT THEM

Look man, all I'm saying is that if they can't speak English they should just get the hell out of my country!

They are the hell out of your country!

Wait.. what?

Record yourself saying this because I have no idea how else it would be pronounced.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Apparently only three of us known how to speak English properly.

Rye emphasizes the W. dAWWWWWn. Don would have no W emphasis.

[Miriel]

I would say that Rye is the weird one in this case! The "w" should only be faint and possibly even negligible when saying "dawn".

You know who has a great call center? Amazon. Friendly, quick, & efficient. Really fantastic customer service on their end. I'm pretty sure they're based in the US though. I don't think I've ever actually been redirected to an Indian call center.

I bet these Indians speak better English than the average Irish person

[Mo-Nercy]

Having worked at McDonalds in my teenage years for quite a while, I think my ability to understand Indian-accented English is pretty good. I don't think I've ever had a problem with an overseas call centre.

Didn't we just have a Don-Dawn discussion like a month ago?

[DMKA]

You know I've heard this from people but it's never happened to me. I always get ghetto "Ha I'mma Shaynaynay fo customah servace oporatah numbah fo fa fa fo nah fa fo may i axe u yo name n phone numbah sa mmhmm" people or "HAY YALL IM DARLA IN FRANK EUWING TENNESSEE YALL HOW CANNA I FIXIN TO HELP YALL" folks.

I'm not sure if this makes me more or less fortunate than all you folks who get stuck with Apu.

Strange you should say that because apparently the best english speakers (as in the closest to pronouncing everything correctly) are the people from Cork in Ireland.

In your face clog boy.

You guys use call centers to get customer support? I chat online with all my representatives because I live in the future.

what, they use the Queen's English in Ireland now? Last time I was there they spoke anything but English. It was like trying to communicate with those pikeys from Snatch.

If you were in Dublin I doubt you met one Irishman.
