According to state news, 47% of Filipinos are “competent” with English [1]. They care.
We all know what this is about. We’ve all had CS calls with accent friction.
What’s the point of using word games to sidestep a problem and the discussion of a real-world implementation of a solution?

- tsimionescu 5mo agoI've had significant accent friction when I started watching British television after a long time of learning English from simply watching only American television. But I don't expect people in Britain to "fix" their accent.
