I recently had a problem with my Internet connection so I called Verizon technical support. The first thing the automated system required from me was to press ‘one’ for English or ‘two’ for Spanish. I pressed ‘one’ and was soon speaking to an Indian who almost spoke English. I assume if I had pressed ‘two’ I would have been connected with an Indian who almoist spoke Spanish. After several frustrating minutes of miscommunication I hung up.

Interesting point. I'd be almost willing to bet that had you pressed 'two', you would have been transferred back to the states and would probably have found someone who speaks better engrish than the Indian.
