What's worse, I'm working in Buffalo, NY now but born and raised in the
South... I've thought more than once about making a sign with the following:
"Attention! The person working in the cubicle you are about to enter is not
a native of this region and as such utilizes a slightly different dialect of
the English language than you are used to hearing. Do not let this alarm
you, as this person is fully trained and competent with all work duties.
Any attempt to correct the attitude, linguistic differences, personal
opinions or professional standards of this individual may result in any
variety of responses ranging from severe verbal abuse to threats of physical
harm."
Spanish -
"Atenci�n! La persona que trabaja en el cub�culo que usted est� a punto de
entrar no es un natural de esta regi�n y como tales utilitzes un dialecto
levemente diverso del lenguaje ingl�s que le utilizan a la audiencia. No
deje este alarmar usted, pues esta persona es entrenada completamente y
competente con todos trabaje los deberes. Cualquier tentativa de corregir la
actitud, las diferencias ling��sticas, las opiniones personales o los
est�ndares profesionales de este individuo puede dar lugar a cualquier
variedad de respuestas que se extienden de abuso verbal severo a las
amenazas del da�o f�sico."
French -
"Attention! La personne travaillant dans le compartiment que vous �tes sur
le point pour entrer n'est pas un indig�ne de cette r�gion et en tant que de
tels utilitzes un dialecte l�g�rement diff�rent de l'anglais que vous �tes
utilis�s � l'audition. Ne laissez pas cette alarme vous, car cette personne
est enti�rement qualifi�e et comp�tent avec tous travaillez les fonctions.
N'importe quelle tentative de corriger l'attitude, les diff�rences
linguistiques, les avis personnels ou les normes professionnelles de cet
individu peut avoir comme cons�quence n'importe quelle vari�t� de r�ponses
s'�tendant de l'abus verbal grave aux menaces du mal physique."
Redneck -
"Hey! The feller that you're about to talk to ain't from 'round here and he
talks a 'tidge different than y'all are usedta hearin'. Don't let this get
yer dander up, he know's his stuff. An' I wouldn't try changin' anything to
his face, 'cos he'll prolly cuss ya out or want to kick yer butt!"
