I just can't decide on which accent I want to use when I speak with an Indonesian stranger on the Internet. When I try to be formal, I sound too formal, when I try to be informal, I sound too regional.

So I just either use the accent I'd use in a class presentation or the Jakartan accent. Most people understand both of them, so I think there won't be much problem.

Y'know the cool thing about English is that you can read this thread in any accent you want. You don't believe me? Try it. Read the first tweet in the general British accent. Switch into general American in the second Tweet.
