By the time you read through this YOU WILL UNDERSTAND TENJOOBERRYMUDS"...

In order to continue getting-by in America (our home land), we all need to learn the NEW English language! Practice by reading the following conversation until you are able to understand the term "TENJOOBERRYMUDS".

With a little patience, you'll be able to fit right in.
Now, here goes...

The following is a telephone exchange between maybe you as a hotel guest and call room-service somewhere in the good old U S A today......

Room Service : "Morrin Roon sirbees."

Guest : "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Room Service: " Rye. Roon sirbees...morrin! Joowish to oddor sunteen???"

I've already been accused of not having a sense of humor lately so I'll just move on.

Just saw a story on History Channel re fast food operations, where they showed, I think Wendys, in a few states, where the drive-through system goes to a central call center in one state, and the person there enters it in a computer that sends the order back to the restaurant. When asked, the Chief of Operations said there were no plans to move their call center to India.

After rereading that, I think it's Jamaican-English.

If it was regular Ebonics I would have spotted it right away! Not too many Jamaicans around my area though...hence my initially mistaking it for Ind-grish...
