Sometimes my pronunciation is shaky. For example, after learning the word nonchalant, I pronounced it as /nahnkailant/ instead of /nahnshalant/. I also used to pronounce the word stoic as /stoyk/ instead of /stoec/. :P

I try my best to improve my pronunciation, though.

Impeccable. Other than the occasional misplaced intonation, and out of place sounding pronunciation, I'm good to go.

That's just how I used to pronounce it, not spell it. :?

I used to pronounce "courteous" as "kor-tee-us". That ended like a year ago.

I have been learning the English language since 5 (I am 20), so even though it is not my mother tongue, I think I pronounce thing very well. There is occasional slip-up or my European accent seeping through, but if I screw up, I just say "I am foreign, so I have an excuse!" :P

Pretty good, though I get some words wrong. Recently I learned that I was pronouncing "Proust" incorrectly (thought it was pronounced "Pr-OW-st," but it was actually "Proost") as well as "Ontario" (I was pronouncing it as "On-TAHR-ee-oh" instead of "On-TAYR-ee-oh").

I pronounce words fine. I do have somewhat of a Boson accent so I do leave out Rs on occasions and I say some words differntly (milk, pillow, bagel).

Compared to the average person here butchering the language, I pride myself on doing fairly well on the subject. It's not 100%, but it's understandable.

I have a unique quality to the way I pronounce words.. so unique in fact that people often comment on it and are often impressed with it.. and find me much more interesting than somebody who pronounces everything how they are suppose too. I don't do it intentionally mind you, or with any sort of forethought. It's just a part of my personality. It little things like that.. which might make you a little bit more interesting than everybody else. And it's those type of qualities most people have but you might not notice them.. it's just a trait that's particularly easily to notice for me.

I think it's brilliant. I put additional effort when speaking in enunciating everything perfectly. Addendum: nonchalant is a fabulous word.

I try to be as articulate as possible, but there are some words that I have read but never heard spoken (more often names) and once I say them and find out I'm mispronouncing them it's pretty embarrassing. But for the most part I'm on point.

Average, but that's because english is a second language to me. I have no problems reading or writing it, but when it comes to talking, I'm not very eloquent... I can still say what I want to say, but my pronunciation is somewhat shaky.
