No, their terrible English is pissing my dad off. He can't understand what they are trying to say in meetings or to other workers. He speaks manderin too. He is forced to translate for them to his English speaking co-workers. I think it's because he immigrated here and worked hard to perfect his english so that it didn't even have an accent within 1 or 2 years and fit in.
But yes, if I was talking about myself, I'd get pissed off at manderin


(well Taiwanese manderin is okay, it sounds nicer, but only from girls ahah).
