Nice article, I never knew non-english people thought this much about it.

Speaking just myself, and probably several I've worked with, I don't think pronunciation has ever been a real problem (assuming it's good enough to understand). Keep in mind us native speakers disagree a lot on this as well.

It's mostly about attitude. If I like somebody and want to understand them it makes very little difference how well they speak English. I dislike somebody, like an annoying colleague, it doesn't matter how refined their enunciation is, I'll just ignore them anyway.

Hi thanks. The most important is communication and attitude, like you said. I think pronunciation is a first step into getting people to understand us
