I'm American. Today I live in Europe, but I've lived in Asia and Africa already. The only American team that I've lead was back in the Marine Corps, so I know the problems of using an English that EVERYONE will understand.

The funniest example that I can give was an American speaking to me. I had been out of the US for about 5 years and when I had just returned I had an inner city kid speak to me, and I understood every word, but not the meaning of his phrase. Crazy how hard it was for an American to speak to an American.
