I think it is the americanization of alot of things. I do not mind someone having their own accent. I think what they say is an american accent is likely infact a dialect or the way americans speak in a certain region of the united states.

ya but now the world is changing .Since many countries were outsourcing from USA and they were entirely dependent on them it was mandatory for those who work in outsourcing to learn their accent. But now i think many countries are doing it and people are attracted to various languages

Hi, yes I admit this. Though I have not been to the US as yet I know how the accent is. It would take decades till you have mastered their accent. Its different from the British English. But as whole I like the accent.

yeah it is entirely different from that of the British accent.The way they both pronounce the alphabets vary,like the 'r' and 'b' sounds.But i think the British speak grammatically good english when compared with those in US

Yes, British English is easy to follow when spoken. The American mostly replace 't' with 'r' and like this there are so many twists.
