Yes, it is hard for not native English speakers to understand you must know the context before it makes sense. I was in Korea once (non-military) on a job where we explained to them several times what not to do and they did it anyway. We even drew pictures. They were welding a frame with a group of loadcells and they were putting the ground below the loadcells and welding above them. To this day I don't know if they were damaged or not. We also were not told they shut the plant down every night, which included turning off the main power, gas, and water supplies. They forgot one day to turn on the water before starting the machine and burned up some water lubricated machines. If we had known we would have put in a water pressure switch as an interlock to prevent the machine from running. Not sure English is the best language in the world. (But it's the only one I know).Suddenly got a message out of the blue, from a Chinese engine company salesperson, one of that I was doing supply investigations for last year. I left questions with them back then and never heard back from them.
(1/ Them 2/ Me ....)
1/ Hello, I am from Chery Ateco, can I help you?
2/ Hello.
1/ How can I address you?
2/ You can address me as Mark, or if you are a lady, you can undress me.
1/ That's not funny.
2/ Ok, bye bye then.
- Not really a joke, well my part was, but a culture clash that's a little too involved to explain, other than they think they can speak English, but they are very serious and very analytical, and have no idea of the depth of English in regards to humor, banter, cynicism, sarcasm, and general expression.
Reminds me of the blonde who walked into a Library and said, in a loud voice, "I'd like a cheeseburger, fries and a large drink."
The Librarian said, in a low voice, "Young lady, This is a library!" Whereupon the blonde lowered her voice to a faint whisper and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I'd like a cheeseburger, fries and a large drink."
