Dealing1 With a Language Barrier
Carol: Send another memo2 to the Gibberese office. I think we have our wires crossed again.
Art: Don’t you think it would be better to call the office and speak to someone there? You might be able to get to the bottom of the misunderstanding more quickly.
Carol: I don’t speak Gibberish and we don’t have anyone bilingual in the office to act as an interpreter.
Art: Which means there’s no one who could translate our correspondence into Gibberish to make things easier.
Carol: That’s right. And plus, leaving a paper trail is better.
Art: You mean in case we have to cover our asses3.
Carol: I wouldn’t put it like that, but breakdowns4 in communication are inevitable5 and it’s always helpful to be able to trace their source.
Art: Right. Okay, I’ll draft a memo and pass it by you before I send it, okay?
Carol: Sounds good.
Art: What I don’t understand is why we don’t simply hire people for this office who are fluent in Gibberish.
Carol: Do you know anyone who speaks Gibberish?
Art: Plenty!
