Putting the 'scam or not' aside for a moment . . .

I'm the first to admit that my Farsi is non-existent . . . but then again
I'm not 'operating' in the Middle-East. A bit of an accent I don't mind,
HOWEVER if you are working - in a 'people communicating' position - you
should have a GOOD COMMAND & COMPREHENSION of the language of THAT country.

I don't mean to 'interpret' for Charlie, but what really gets to me is when
it is on 'your' dime, that this happens. You call 'Tech Support' for
computer/software assistance and get a heavily accented, barely
understandable voice, reading a 'script' {which may - or may NOT - have
anything to do with your problem}. It gets worse when you try to explain
that HIS answer has nothing to do with YOUR question . . . and are angrily
informed that you can only be on the line for 7 minutes !!

It's bad enough when the 'local number' for Verizon Customer Service is
across the country {I'm in PA, they are in AZ}, but at least they speak
clear English {so far !!}.


Ummm, when did the US establish a national language?

We've ALWAYS had a national language, English. What we don't have is a
legally official language, and I'm coming to think that is a mistake,
as more and more groups come in and insist on having things done their
way, in their language. Diversity in that sense makes for absolutely
nothing but confusion.


Are you that stupid? Before English came to North America, there were several different languages that existed here before then. English wasn't the only language that came over before a good portion of North America became the US, there was German, French, Spanish, Dutch and several other languages. When the US was formed, there still existed all these languages, and we've added several more since then. Which one is the national language? Apache? Cherokee? Lakhota? Choctaw?

Strange that a man calling people stupid, backs it up with elementary school history facts.
Before Cherokee, humans in ( what is now) the US, grunted and banged as a language. By your elementary reasoning we should accept that as a language as well.

The original languages in the US all melted into on language, English. For a reason. A functioning country cannot function without commons.

Wonder how this guy would feel if he had an accident, called 911 and they did not speak English.

Brings up the question. People in the US who cannot speak English, are they a burden or a profit to our society?

What was Andrew Dice Clay's joke???  :)

Let's see if you can follow this logic. Not everyone in the US has spoken English since the beginning of the US. Now, because we have people who speak something else, it's no longer okay that there are people who don't speak english? What about the vast differences between english in the Northeast and the deep south, or the midwest, or even California, for that matter. None of us speak the same english. We don't even speak english according to the Brits, so what is our national language again?
