ESL
Why is it that people who speak English as a second language are allowed to get away with saying “blah, blah, blah,” (LITERALLY!) in a presentation? What’s the deal with letting “I don’t know how to say it” be an OK answer for a complicated question? And more importantly, why am I, as an English-speaking native, then expected to both know all these answers, and how to pronounce difficult words I’ve never heard pronounced before? How would YOU pronounce nepinephrine if you just looked at it? Since when has speaking the native language become the negative factor instead of the postive?
I’m a little pissed that this might really be the case when we have our qualifying and advancement exams…*sigh - can’t I ever catch a break?
