During a cab ride in Costa Rica, our driver took time to
point out some highlights around his village. He took us slightly out of the
way to show us the local hospital.
I asked him if the government pays for healthcare in his
country. He was confused by my question. I repeated the question, a bit slower.
And I pronounced government as “gu-born-ment”
because I thought he might understand the question if I imitated an accent.
“No senor, the government
does not pay. It is free!”
