Perhaps it's inconvenient for them that they have to read it in English

You know that English is the official language of India? Government and commerce use it as a neutral language between the dozens of languages and dialects that are used in the different regions of India. Now if only the EU would get its act together...



Really? When I worked with IBM my Indian coworkers only spoke English when not speaking with other Indians.

It doesn't matter though. Drop in Russian, Japanese, or Italian: my point still stands.


Yep - the Indian outsourcing types I've dealt with speak to each other in very fast, heavily-accented English and to non-Indians in slow, slightly-accented English.
