If Seymour is attempting

to make fun of someone who is ESL, their second language must be ebonics.  That message sounded nothing like an ESL.

Posts like this just burn me up!!!  I picture some stoned out hippy chick, skipping around in a field of flowers singing, I only want to hear the positive.... La, La, La. 

Get real!  Did you notice you got one, count 'em, ONE reponse?  That's because there is nothing positive about Focus!  I'm not going to bore you with the details because I just don't want to ruin your trip.

It doesn't matter anyway, you're probably going to take the job.  You're just looking for someone somewhere to make you feel better about your decision.  Do us all a favor, take the job already and get back to us when they've screwed you over.

Seymour wasn't making fun of ESLs.  Anyone working for Transcend would know that there are several accounts that are very heavy ESL.  Seems kind of [fill in adjective of choice] to post an ad for 1 account that is no ESL.  Most people aren't foolish enough to believe that the majority of applicants are going to apply for a heavy ESL account when there is one with no ESLs.  We're also not foolish enough to believe that if we get hired for the no ESL account we'll be on that account for long before running out of work.  The no ESL ad is a carrot.  I'm just figuring (from Seymour's post below about Gone with the Wind) that the Scarlett interpretation is because Transcend is in Atlanta.
