I'm objecting (more strongly) to local English accents in settings including but not limited to: - conference speeches with international audiences - group discussions with international participants - teleconferences with international participants In my experience, it is harder to understand most British English accents than, say, a run-of-the-mill Chinese engineer trying to speak English. It has to do with pronunciation, speed and eloquence (too much of it with native speakers). Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
