My company got audited for our certifications and the auditor was a hardcore ESL native Spanish speaker and no one could understand a word this bitch said

Old anecdote. There’s a software company in Germany that employed a bunch of foreigners. Pajeets, chinks, SEAniggers, britisher, americans, and so on. Obviously these retards didn’t speak German. So English was the lingua franca. The problem was the non-Anglos could understand each other using “English”, but they couldn’t understand shit when the UKer and USians speak, unless super dumbed-down like Trump.
It was a very interesting phenomenon. There is real English and there is another version that non-native speakers use.

No you only ever let us talk with the english proficent zoomer rep who introduce himself with ”heey man!”-s despite working for a cut-throat bulgarian energy corp. It’s very unsettling and none of us knows what to make of it

It's the accents, British people obviously don't notice this but the British accents (most of them) are hard to understand for ESLs, on the other hand American accents, most of them are easy.
In most situations one can easily communicate with Americans even in broken or very basic English because conveying meaning is easy as long as words are understood.

Not a great accent but he should have asked a shorter more concise question.
If I was 80yo in a room full of people I would've also struggled to understand him.

The models are so absurdly good that you can run an open-spurce one yourself on babby hardware and get near perfect results

Yea happens at my job too. Europeans love bragging how GREAT their English is when in reality it sucks. When Amogus was popular I played on North American servers exclusively for this very reason
