just something lame here...
while i write perfect english (excuse my punctation and caps, i am lazy), i was playing around with windows vista's speech recognition software and i realised that i CANT speak properly!
instead of "I want..." i say " i wan..."
instead of "one...two...three" i say "wan...too...tree"
instead of "this.." i say "tis"
instead of "these..." i say "dis"
instead of "hello..." i say "harloe"
instead of "that chain is GOLD colored.." i say "dat chain is GO color"
sad. sad. SAD.
u have nothing better to do? ![]()

In Singapore-speak, it's "Donch Speek"

nope. your pronounciation must be clear and concise and that doesn't mean faking an accent. it's simply putting in effort to speak properly.
