Plus précisément, lorsqu'un anglophone prononce (a) comme dans l'alphabet (anglais bien sûr !), cela a-t-il une connotation emphatique ? Est-ce incorrect? Familier? Relâché? Urbain? Rural? Plutôt américain?...Que sais-je encore ? Cela s'entend aussi dans des chansons. Par exemple dans "Seven wonders" de Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks chante " "A" certain time, "a" certain place...", ou encore toujours Stevie Nicks (en solo) dans "Stand Back" : "standing in "a" line..."

Easier in English?
Why do sometime English speaking people pronounce "a" (the indefinite article) like in the alphabet instead of the usual "ə" sound (the"schwa") ? Is it familiar? American? Emphatic? When is it suitable to do so ? When is it not acceptable?

I think it depends on the dialect. The most important thing is that you can say what you need to say when it matters, and clearly.
