Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

Not everyone speaks English, and there's no one standard of English.

There's British English, Singaporean English, Indian English, Malaysian English, etc. Forcing one standard of English does not seem correct.

Like, I've seen so many instances on Twitter of Westerner canceling Asian people for speaking "English Asia" (basically English but combined with their local language), just because they misunderstand the meaning of the tweet.
