I have noticed that accents disappear when people sing, so maybe we need singing customer service reps. Like singing telegrams.
Can someone put “have you tried turning it off and back on again” to music?

I think if I ever heard a person use the phrase in person and not in jest I would be justified in taking their skin. Speaking of that, the other day we were discussing the proper handling of pedos and the natural conversation progression went to taking their skin, but there is a fair question that comes up on that, where does the mouth, nose, ears, and butthole end and the skin begin? Nobody wants to take more than theyre entitled, we want to be fair.

They retired there after my grandfather was tasked with setting up the Army Missile School at Restone. Anyway, they had about 3 acres worth of garden and orchards which my brother and I helped them with in the mornings. Around 11, my grandmother would disappear to make us all lunch and we would all sit in their gazebo and eat and then listen to Paul Harvey while shucking corn or stringing beans. Great memories of that show and those simpler times. On Sun, Sep 21, 2025 at 3:56 PM Chuck <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: This is Paul Harvey, stand by for NEWS!

Today they had a story about this company and their “AI accent translation” product, and how it helps overseas customer support agents sound more American. https://www.sanas.ai/accent-translation All very good and interesting. But then they said it helped overcome “accent discrimination”. I had a problem with that characterization. I understand, some people will object to the accent and insist on talking to another agent. But more often, I think we just can’t understand the agent. Maybe that’s on us, but no amount of saying it’s discriminatory is going to fix our ears and brains. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
