I'm sorry but I don't understand the example dialogue. What A is saying? What is a zero-sum game for Wallstreet dealers? I do not understand.

Have you ever gotten off a call at work and not understood what the person on the other end of the phone was saying to you? Have you ever walked through an office and overheard people talking what sounds like a foreign language?

I've lived and worked in a number of countries where English was not spoken as the first language. I definitely know what you mean!

Best,
