I can puzzle out broken or highly accented ennglish if I need to, but why would I want to go through the effort?
PS. Please stop arguing back and forth about something silly.

In the documentary, as well as the company that my company has hired, the agents go through classes where they learn to master the accent & inflection of Americans. When you watch the documentary or talk to the agents that work for my company you can tell that some of them have mastered accents & inflection at different levels.
These kinds of jobs, outsourced from somewhere in America, are highly desired by those from 18-25 years in age. I think that in time it means great things for the future of India. I'm pleased that my company has given the younger generation in India a chance to shape the future of their country.
PS. Thank you for stepping in.
