  That’s so very Indian :)

  First time I saw it, I almost replied with “but… you already did?”

    I’ve always assumed it’s the indian to english translation that makes it sound condescending.

      Oh it's not a translation. That's Indian English. It's a perfectly valid dialect. They often say things a bit more Victorian and have some influences from Hindi/urdu (which, being an Indo-European language like English, allows some of it's grammar rules to bleed over due to some baked in similarities).
