    I don't understand the above. When pronouncing what is spelled out... I sound like I ride a short bus.  Anyhow, I speak Proper English ...what was taught in school. I was educated by a strict group of Belgium nuns.   I now say some words in with a Southern Drawl like ta'nite instead of tonight. I also say Koo Will instead of cool.  My favorite is the phrase is that old valley girl phrase....Oh Mu Gawd  instead of Oh My God!

      The one that is understood! I think the Southern drawl and the Yorker are probably two of the more famous. Then again that Stoner-SoCal Cool is right-up there! But still those sweet Georgia Peaches...

      I'm from New York, but I never heard of the Yorker.:) Also I don't say, "toidy-toid and toid", and even though I live on (in) Long Island, I don't say "Long Gisland". LOL! I was even born in Brooklyn!

        It depends on the purpose.  

        It should be one that doesn't alienate the audience.

        I prefer to listen to BBC British, but I speak 20th-century Mid-Western TV-Network News English.  The wrong accent in the wrong place can provoke confrontation (provoke confrontation = start a fight just by breathing).

        Slang and obscure accents limit the audience.  Strive for being understood.

        Don't pronounce your Rs or Ts. That's the best way to work round it.

          British isle, Australia, south Africa and USA are four distinct accents 0f English speaking nations. USA has, then, its variance. The British accent of high society ( queens English ) is supposed to be best. How ever the standard American accent (mid west ) is well accepted as the most prevalent.

          There are 3 English Accents, which usually speak universally, which can be well understand universally, and which are normally used
          Australian Accent : AP-TEE-TOOTHE for  APTITUDE
          U.S Accent :  Where pronunciation Will be made slang like TRUA-AINS-FURRR for TRANSFER.
          U.K Accent : Here its very difficult to understand them like
          FEE-NAN-SHAL for FINANCIAL
          According to me, US accent is the best.
          It may vary from individual to individual, however according to me US is better than UK and AUS.
