Yes. They may have West Indian parents but they were born here. :S



Colin Powells parents were from Jamaica and he grew up in the South Bronx. You could be teaching the next secretary of state.

When I took Calc in college, my teacher was from New Jersey. Dr. Goldberg. I was never offended by his criticism of my Southern accent. Nobody in the class understood his. :D

I work for a New York bank now. Teleconferences are punishing. I am the English-to-English translator.
The guy in Hong Kong is clearer.

I have Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, various African, Mexican, and Russian in my class. I often do English to English translation for the students and for other teachers and administrators in the building. It's quite amusing, actually. I understnad them - but I wonder if they understand themselves sometimes. (The students, of course - I let the teachers and administrators duke it out among themselves.)
