Recently we were doing interviews for a job. We had one gentleman from India applying for the position. We have hundreds of people with Indian English accents at our company, so it’s not like we are unfamiliar with the dialect. But this person… none of us could understand more than one word in ten from him. We persevered with the interview, each of us assuming that it was just us and everyone else could understand him. It took me nearly an hour to realize that he was pronouncing API as “ape-ee”.
