jayYesterday afternoon I attended a contractor demo for the FAA, about web-accessible flight obstacle databases and automated chart/map generation. The demo was fine... but one of the engineers spoke with a thick Indian-subcontinental accent. Again, no problem, my Ph.D. advisor was an immigrant... but this fellow seemed to have some problems with similar-sounding words. Such as three times saying "data suppository" instead of "data repository"...
