Assimilation on the horizon

My interview went well for this job. Simple questions were asked as to my education and other activities. Guyana is 3^rd world in economics but definitely not in education. We don’t go to school from 7am till 6pm to learn nothing. After I passed the education check next came the personal questions. I had introduced myself as “Aleea, pronounced phonetically and she still had trouble saying it.” So I told her, the interviewer Jane Johnson, that she could just call me Ally for short. During the interview Jane asked me how old I was and I noted I was “twenteh-five” I suppose at that point she heard my “accent” with numbers.
