I agree. Maybe we could start with a list of habits for which native
English speakers should not engage so that non-native speakers can
more readily understand the conversation. Such as, but not limited to:
- do not mumble at the microphones.
- do not speak fast.
- do not use cultural references as a replacement for meaningful prose
- do not use uncommon words
Just a suggestion.
