The people who don't have an American accent don't deserve to be here. They sound funny. American accent should be made mandatory for the immigrants.

Which of the 100s of different ones ? YOU also ought to be thrown out as the question you asked lacks coherence and is grammatically WRONG.

I am not sure i understand what you mean, as there are many accents in this country. I am from the south, maybe everybody down here should have to undergo some form of speech therapy. Maybe, we should all have to think and look alike also. I don't understand what people have against legal immigration, since at 1 time or another...unless you are an american indian, your family also immigrated here. I wish people would show more tolerance to each other and focus on more important issues instead of letting prejudices cloud our judgements!!!!

Not sure about your logic. But, I would disagree with your statement. However, it is very frustrating to call a company for help and not understand the person on the other end because they talk fast and have a heavy accent. But, I just think they should find another line of work. Not move, unless they are illegal.
Plus, there go all my wild dreams of Sean Connery or Mel Gibson or Hugh Jackman. No, I am leaning towards accents.

What, exactly, IS an 'American' accent?
There are Southerners that sound British, some Texans that I can't understand at all, and folks from Canada that sound like New Yorkers.
I love all the different accents I hear with English. It makes a rich language, as English is so flat and dull with just the British, Canadian, or American newscaster-style inflections.
Anyone who can add a little sizzle to this old boring tongue is just fine by me!

What part of America are you from? Do the people in the South deserve to be kicked out because they talk funny? What about New Englanders? Or those in the MidWest? Or Wisconsin? America was built upon immigration. If someone is an American citizen (check me on this one if I'm wrong), they have the right to free speech. As far as I'm concerned, that means they can speak any way they please.

considering that English language is already a international language, the assumption of understanding English is approximately verbal exchange in a foreign country. If i choose to communicate to somebody from Indonesia case in point it rather is going to be carried out in a language that we the two understand. For the 2nd that language is English. It does not rather concerns whether you're a suited speaker as long as you could communicate effectively. even though it rather is authentic in spite of the undeniable fact that that if a rustic has a extensive fluent English speaking inhabitants has greater reward than others. An occasion is eire. they could abolish English language in choose of Gaelic language that's their ancestral language yet they did no longer. the clarification is money. a super quantity of their fee effective advance is by using the fact they in good shape with the English speaking countries like England or u . s .. case in point there are American agencies that opt to deliver their account books in eire via fact it rather is greater low priced in eire and because they use a similar language. obligatory or no longer, that's as much as the priorities of each and every usa and individual individual. If a rustic or somebody thinks that there are greater helpful properties than losses via making English obligatory, then why no longer?

Maybe the language should be mandatory first, then the accent will evolve naturally.

You are a sad sack. If that was susposed to be a joke, it was in bad taste. Remember that you are now in the minority in this Country. Talk like that is going to cost you big time in the future.

Well I think it should be made mandatory for racist twits such as yourself to have their mouths permanently kept shut.
