I am going to be buying a car sometime over the next couple weeks, so I am shopping around and getting quotes on the OUT THE DOOR PRICE on the vehicle.
There is 1 dealer in particular where a woman in the internet department speaks with a heavy Spanish has called me several times asking if I'm going to buy the car. I have always let the phone go to voicemail and here is what she says: "Heyyo, this message is finding itself to Mike, it is Treesa from Ignorant car dealer and I be looking forward to hearing from you. Be ready to call me back at (626)___-_____."
Here is an e-mail she sent to me today after I said I found a better offer at another dealer.
"Hello i got the price you are asking i see we have a deal dealer the only thing i need from you is to came down and show it to the manager i see a deal all day long please call me at soon as possible thank you have a good day. day to day come to visit me."
Is that not sad and painful to read? People whose English is this bad bother me. I do try to be sympathetic because I'm a language minor and learning a language is difficult. I do think however, if you are going to work with people, you should be able to communicate effectively.

hehe!! lmao ....
to be fair, it's difficult for people who do not speak english as their first language ....
however, i do agree with you that bad communication skills is a big turn-off ... professionally as well as personally ...
p.s. i think now i will have to be careful while leaving comments, with you being a language minor n all!! :P ...
You don't have to watch your grammar, spelling, and all of that. Little errors don't bother me as much as something being incomprehensible.
Wow. I would not do business with someone who could not effectively communicate, regardless of whether it was a first language.
