I have to agree with Mark on this one. I've watched people intentionally not listen to my mother because she was Japanese. It didn't matter that she was speaking perfectly clear English with only a hint of an accent. Because they said to themselves, "I won't understand her so I'm not going to even listen," they ended up not understanding her because they didn't listen.

My respect for the author writing an article in the first place. Those of us who do it on a regular basis know how hard it can be. It's that much harder when it's not in your native language.
