Woman offers description of recent significant Texas Hail event in her native Ebonics

Do you find yourself writing the word "unintelligible" a lot?

I love seeing that in court transcripts.

Do you have to write down what they say, verbatim.. Or, do you have to translate it into comprehensible English? (like in that movie Airplane)

I always try to work in awesome gibberish into a report. With quotes I can put in whatever fucked up thing that is said and maintain my "professional" status. If it is something real fucked up I will offer my interpretation based on all of the circumstances (I always make it clear that it is an interpretation).

That kind of nonsense drives me friggin nuts... The rest of the world even knows they're setting themselves up for failure by talking that way..And yet no one's allowed to do anything about it .... I've purposefully NOT hired people because of their poor communication skills

Oh, geez - this is why I cannot go into the education field.

That's right down the road from me. Brookshire is a hellhole. It's West of Houston. That storm was a motherfucker the other day though.
