standard American English as spoken and understood by the majority of educated native speakers in the United States

English and Americans are two people devided by the same language.(Bernard Shaw)

Don't pronounce as it is written.
listen >no T
better >say D for TT >bedder
Any other pronounciation will sound foreign, stange, wrong, or different to a native speaker.

Some words look as if they have only one syllable, but really need to be said with as many as three!
pool >pu-wuh-luh
feel >fee-yuh-luh
Don't say like one syllable not to be unintelligible.
Insert semivowels.

from dry riverbed to great river
from stick shift to an automatic transmission

call (kahl)
