      Damn, I overenunciate (compared to my local accent) some sounds because otherwise people have a harder time understanding my speech. Not that I have a speech impediment, I just talk fast, mumble through some words out of hurry and I’m kinda quiet. People have noted that I do that but it’s only to make sure people understand what I’m saying, having to repeat myself makes it uncomfortable for both of us.

      It certainly makes you more comprehensible to people who don’t speak English as their native tongue.
