[quote=GUEST19588,465237]The American accent is nothing more than the obsession of those who learn to speak it. Hey, the USA is much bigger thn britain and has rammed it's influence down the throats of people all over the world. So of course, most English students now get no choice but to learn how to say phrases like "bedda compooda", and the like. Tell me - how exactly is that a clear pronunciation of "better computer"? It beggars beliefs the shallow defence made for the American accent being 'easier' to understand. They simply can't accept the fact that it is totally indistinct and slurred; most sound like they've consumed a fair amount of alcohol. British English is clear and distinct, and certainly the better choice for the more educated individual. Those taught British English always appreciate having done so; they definitey have far, far greater success in understanding all the other global 'English' accents than those left with the limitations of learnig American English.[/quote]
