I called to some company in order to acquire services...
At some point, their automatized system asked about my destination of origin: Puerto Rico, I responded with my natural Puerto Rican accent...
Immediately the system responded: hmmm lets try again...and, we did try...one, two three four times...
When we were about to go to the fifth time into the same question I was: Really?!?! Are you telling me that after all these years I don't know how to pronounce my country name?! Then, quickly, like in a a whisper the thought surprised me: You need to speak in English to them!!
Soooo, there I was, using my best English and saying: pwerto reko...
Welllll...allow me to tell you that it did work!

Yes, that made me laugh in disbelief ...while rolling my eyes and shaking my head...

On the other hand, it looks like I'm improving on my Inglés...sighs...

Welcome to my world! lol
