În Statele Unite sunt mulţi imigranţi care, chiar dacă ştiu limba engleză destul de bine, au probleme cu pronunţia şi accentul. Următorul dialog a avut loc atunci când un turist cazat la un hotel a sunat la room service pentru a comanda micul dejun şi a dat peste un angajat, probabil pakistanez sau indian, cu o pronunţie hilară.

Room Service (RS): „Morrin. Roon sirbees.”

Guest (G): „Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service.”
