Keith I am on your side. Often judgement is cast over simple events that do not take the situation as a whole. Good people find themselves in bad situations. We have all been there. Sometimes taking big risks, reaps big rewards.

No, I think he meant in passing yourself off as not a robot. Or not a Russian.

I get it, English isn't your first language, right? Let me guess: Assembly?

When I hear vocalized pauses in Spanish, it's usually the last syllable stretched out while the speaker thinks of the next word, like Chemda doing an Israeli accent. Jesse seems so used to putting in "like" in English that someone needs to teach him a filler word in Spanish so it sounds less choppy.

The SA accent was a little off, but the best I've heard from a non-South African, so props on that.

Apparently South Africans only respect your accent when you can pronounce

'Benny Puss Pink' or some such correctly.

I don't know.

All them white folks will be somewhere else in 40 years. So who cares?

Oh wow! Jesse's South African accent sounds like an Australian got some Afrikaans beaten into him at the start. I can see what he's trying to do though... there are several accents here and basically he's trying to get down an Afrikaans accent like the guy in District 9 has. Thankfully, not all of us sound like that. Not too bad, I don't think I could do a better American accent. Welgedaan, Jesse, dit was nogals goed.

Yeah, I'm in Namibia, but where I'm from was part of South Africa until 1994. General knowledge for the day.
