Oh the perils of cross cultural communication….

So there I was helping an international student with EndNote…

I suggested naming the file aaaaa.pdf ( to make it easier for her to identify the exact pdf).

She wrote down iiiiiii.pdf…..

I had to laugh – that is the vowel shift in New Zealand English that confuses everyone but us.
