> We need more of this and less of "Learn how to speak in an American accent in 2 months!"

Honest question: why? The onus of work is still on someone.

Given that English is my second language, I think the onus is on me to learn the proper pronunciation and enunciation of words. I would not expect someone to learn to decipher my accent, and I'm not sure why this would preferred over the alternative to begin with.
