    you can be doubtful but it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen to some people. I was saying about heavy accent and I heard some

    This is nonsense.

    This is possibly not knowing English reading rules rather than "accent".

    So, following this logic any accent can be set to "not knowing English reading rules" because otherwise why would people say "a" sound when they supposed to say "æ" sound, it's right there in the book, just say it

    Yes. And if someone says "fusion" without "y" sound, it is not accent, it is not knowing the rules.

    Or that someone might think he's saying it with "y" but actually he is not and that will be an accent

    Russians have this word (zebra) in their language. They do not pronounce it "sebra".

    One more time
    there is no word "zebra" in Russian language there is "зебра"
    The word "zebra" however exists in English and it is not pronounced as "зебра" it is pronounced as "зибра". Also it doesn't mean that all original sounds in this word can be perfectly replaced with Russian language sounds
    I don't know why argue about it at all, I already got that you don't agree, you want to convince me? Not gonna happen
