An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent -- a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion -- macho, sotto voce.
coming compete definitely doom good high improved job needs people prepared room school students system
There is definitely room for improvement, but I don't want people to think this is all doom and gloom.
