Am I the only person here who finds the general pronounciation of english words in his region to be the best?

This was purely a joke.

Don't take it otherwise.

I'm always saying " Australians do not have accents - everyone else does". And the thing I learned very early around here was NEVER to tell anyone they pronounced a word incorrectly unless they actually asked me to. And also never to try and explain why that way was wrong - they can always come up with a case where the rule does not apply

The Australian accent is the most wholesome of all(Even though I have heard it a very few times.).Please,don't take any offence but the accent generally feels like something is stuck in the speaker's voice box.
Even some distinct words only present in Australian English also feel very Jolly and Cute.

I always and still do feel that our Indian accent(primarily from the North Indian belt) is the most Raw and Natural of all the accents I have heard till date even though South Indian English is fun and flavourful in its own distinct way.
On the other hand,British English feels too sophisticated and royal and American English feels too stylized and casual for my taste.

So, which is correct: toMAYto or toMAHto (or does it just depend on which part of the English-speaking world you live in)?

Sir/Ma'am,I actually needed to tell you that once you are satisfied with the discussion on your topic,you have to write 'Next Question Please.' in Bold to let others know that they can post their question.

Next question please.

My Question Is:-
Is AMOLED Screen harmful for eyes?

Currently,I own a phone with an AMOLED(or probably Super AMOLED) screen and with it I am facing pain in my eyes even with low brightness.The phones I owned before it had IPS screens and with them I never faced eye pain even with Medium brightness.

Is my eye pain because of the Screen type or simply because I might have increased my screen time?

My Question Is:-
How did the older generation spend their free time in their teens and 20s?What did you people do before technology took a boom to mess with our lives?What did you do when you were alone and when you were with friends and family?And,what was that one thing that gave you the most fullfillment?

When I was a first year uni student (lo, these many years ago) we played bridge. We went for evening walks (to buy cigarettes). We stayed up all night talking or reading. We went to parties. I suppose that television was the 'technology' of the day but we didn't watch it.

The one thing I loved most in my late teens? Singing in a small group under the direction of a stern, inspiring, conductor.

Women consuming cigars is not a taboo in the west,right?
Apart from that,what do you feel life meant to your generation and what does it means today?
