Conductors' Language

I can't believe what I hear! I can't even understand what I hear! This is New York City for krise sake and the conductors on the trains can't speak proper American English! WTF is that all about? We have people coming in from all over the world! SOME of them learn English so they can communicate at least the basics with the rest of us. They SHOULD be able to expect our conductors on the trains to give proper announcements over the PA so that they can understand what the hell's being said (like delays, next staion stop, etc.) But the unadulterated shit that comes over those speakers is unforgiveable! Honestly! The accents and the slurring and the regional dialtects (NOT of NYC) are enough to give anybody a terminal headache. It's an atrocity and embarrassment to any and ALL NEW YORKERS!

HEY MTA! TEACH YOUR MORONS HOW TO SPEAK PROPER AMERICAN ENGLISH BEFORE YOU SET THEM LOOSE ON THE PUBLIC. IF THEY CAN'T LEARN AMERICAN ENGLISH, GET SOMEBODY WHO EITHER SPEAKS IT ALREADY OR WHO CAN LEARN IT. BUT GET THE GOOKS OFF THE RAILS.
