: when it comes to accent vs grammatically correctness,
: i guess accent is more important when you are out socializing;

I don't think your accent is important, whether or not you are out socialising
or you are in class. I feel that what's most important is that you are able
to speak clearly and in a manner in which people understand what you are trying
to get at. I am disgusted by people who try to speak with an American or a
British accent, when it doesn't come naturally. They sound absolutely terrible
and they think they sound like a caucasian. What's the point of mimicking an
accent? So that you'll be seen as equal? Oh puh-leeeese.
Just get your grammer and your pronunciation right, and you'll be fine. Even if
your pronunciation is not accurate, it's still not as bad as mimicking an
accent. I think people who mimic an American or British accent ridicule
themselves in the process.
What is the natural english accent in the first place? It's the same as asking
which form of English is the most accurate one? British English? American
English? Australian English?
Am I crapping?
