Mohan, In the U.S most people speak "American English". But I can understand your confusion, considering the statement below.

SPELLING BEE CONFUSING

If GH can stand for P as in Hiccough
If OUGH stands for O as in Dough
If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis
If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour
If TTE stands for T as in Gazette
If EAU stands for O as in Plateau

The right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU


I have trouble understanding Cajuns, Bostonians, hillbillys, some New Yorkers and some southern accents, and I'm born and raised in the U.S.! Never mind other "English" speaking countries. All I can tell you is good luck!
