Devil Good English speaking pilots

Well, I'm not sure how many of us aviators , actually have a good command of the english language. Accents and twangs are found worldwide. Our interpretation of speaking good english is usually wrong, especially for some of us who fly international.
A good knowledge of different cultures should clear an individuals conception. For some of us who pride ourselves in the all knowing power of ENGLISH, we tend to forget that some folks in southeast asia can cuss' us out in five different languages, while we stand around with a begging bowl doing their menial labor in our all knowing manner.
"Just food for thought" .
