> In the future, don't let yourself get distracted with accent etc

Huh? It's not something we have any control over. We don't understand them. Let me repeat that slowly: We. Don't. Understand them.

Also, note that this argument could be turned around in an instant: "If you want to work in the tech industry, don't distract others with your accent." Who is in the right about it? No one, I would argue. It just needs to be accepted that some portion of people have difficulty understanding some other portion of people. Don't make us feel like jerks for trying to clearly and precisely understand what is being asked.
