I totally empathize.
When American websites are translated to other languages, sometimes some things end up weird.
By the way, I feel Indians speak that way in casual conversations; "you want coffee?", "you want biscuit?" etc.
- andrew_eit 5y agoThis doesn't bother me at all, especially at an individual level. I want to make clear - it's not the language issue per se. I think native English speakers are incredibly privileged to have their language as one of if not the international language, so I could never fault a person for not speaking a foreign language well (I'm sure I butcher the German language in ways that would make Goethe himself cry out in anguish). It's the fact that this is an international company launching a product in a professional setting. Again, I don't quite know why this bothers me so much, but I feel its within the context of other cultural things I experience.
