When I watch Anime, I notice that Japanese English pronunciation is really bad, they twist all the sounds, and they can't pronounce sounds like "L".

When you say "I think English is the easiest language when it comes to pronunciation", let me respectfully but vehemently disagree.

To everyone: Moderating a website is not just having a diamond next to your nickname. It's also voting to close a question, flagging content, voting, etc. All of this small actions help the community shape itself.
