Despite getting more accustomed, it still gladdens my heart to hear a southern twang or a flat midwestern accent. Such a relief to be able to speak freely and normally, and actually be understood.

I can help!

The ambitious Indian brethren should get themselves copies of that 19th century bilingual immigrants' guidebook, "English As She Is Spoke," by Pedro Carolino.

I’ve actually asked AT&T to transfer me to a supervisor in the US to resolve issues.

This is not about throwing stones. It a matter-of-fact and generally well known fact across the world.

I won’t address your comment about my English since this is not a proper forum to brag about spoken and written English for those used to speech, cadence, and grammar as taught in Oxford universities.
