British pronunce the word as a word except '' r '' which make me crazy so it is useful because in any language u should learn the source to understand poetry & litreture.




americans cut alot from words And speak so fast but their accent can be developed And as i told british can`t.


if you aske me what i am going to learn first , i will tell the british pronounciation

Maybe it's just me, but I tend to think that British speakers cut more from their words than Americans. For example, I live in Birmingham, which is pronounced BIR-ming-ham. However, in England, they say something like "Burminhmmm." Leicester Square is pronunced "Lester," even though in the US we'd probably say "LY-chester." (I think it's that British influence that has caused the residents of Worcester, Massachusetts, to pronounce their hometown as "Wooster.")

In British English, you will hear different pronunciations of 'got it', depending on the region, etc:
got it
gotit
goddit
gorrit
go'it

"Got it" often sounds like "god it" in AmE, depending upon how quickly the speaker is talking, and what part of the US they're from.

If you are serious and want others i mean people from Asian continents to understand you then i in my opinion British pronunciation is the best.

I think gobbledygook effectively describes the Scots accent.
