...Indeed. As an American, I deal with "Indian English" all day, so I feel for you. Even worse, I was once in Switzerland at a restaurant trying to order lunch from a waiter from deep in Scotland, and had to "translate" for someone on our team who was born and raised in Dallas, TX. It was definitely entertaining watching those two trying to communicate at first.
