Ruin sorbees, rye?

Are you worried about your spoken English?

Feeling insecure about your accent?? Never mind! There are people

 doing the funniest things while they speak the English language

 and even though they succeed in communicating with foreigners!

 The secret is forwarding to your interlocutor the trouble, he ~ your interlocutor ~ is the one who should understand you! :o)))

Here you can read a dialogue between an American guest who is trying

 to order his breakfast and a hotel employee at an Asian hotel.

  Room service: - Morny. Ruin sorbees.

  Guest: - Sorry, I thought I dialled room service.
