I actually got bored enough to count how many times this one guy said that on a show I was watching.

It was a half-hour show.

I lost count/gave up after 59 times.

Indy-English? That's incomprehensible to me.

Indian English (NOT Native American English) but English spoken on the Indian Sub-Continent is common here.

I think it's Hinglish for Hindu English, but that word isn't in my copy of Hobson-Jobson, the Anglo-Indian dictionary.

My local nightclub is featuring garage music. I can't understand the words they use to describe the acts. I haven't a hope of understanding the music.

My eldest daughter is a serious fan of urban and hip-hop tracks. We buy her CDs for her birthday and Christmas from a list she sends, but we have no idea what we're buying.

Bach, Beethoven and Mozart are much more accessible.

I collect 50's 60s popular music. Thus I was quite surprised to find, while standing in line at the supermarket, that the young cashier couldn't understand the music they were playing over the store loudspeaker system. The music was "Downtown" by Petula Clark.

Imagine the same thing during a lecture in the university...

Had a soft-spoken Chinese Professor for Differential Equations. The class was at 8 am in the morning after I had worked all night on third shift during the summer. Add to that, he had a habit of repeating the same sentence three or four times in sequence. I was usually asleep within two minutes. What a waste of a class.

I have one like that right now - except that he does speak Swedish... I've fallen asleep TWICE in his lectures.

Well, Petula's pretty radical. And "Downtown"...that's a hard one. One needs to start easy with Clark. "Don't Sleep in the Subway" or "Color My World."

That's because at that point you know she's COMPLETELY legal, ain't it?

Returning to the subject of English, I find that a bit of slang and the occasional grammar mistake isn't a problem for me. However, I've found that there are some people (even those for whom English is the mother tongue) who mess up their speach and writing so badly that it's next to incomprehensible. I find that frustrating, especially when I would like to read something for the ideas, but they get completely mangled by the sentence structure.
