Tough Talk,
At my job I encounter a lot of travelers who have unique and interesting accents. I can’t help myself and ask what type it is and most people are happy to tell me, but some people seem to be really offended. How should I make sure that I don’t offend anyone TT? (Eden, South Carolina)
Eddy,
The best way to navigate this area is when you ask a person’s background, make sure you mimic the accent and do it while smirking and laughing in their face, “What a beautiful accent you have.” Of course, say stupid things too. Everyone one will enjoy your attention to detail.
