i dont think she means anyone specific

perhaps she doesn't.  but there had to be some motivation behind the statement.

Obviously, there was or she wouldn't have gotten involved.

the brits have a 'better than thou' pitch.

only the received pronounciation - the ones you're likely to hear on bbc etc.

different regional british accents can be heard here:

I *think* the black country accent would be closest to this, of those on there:

i find it amazing actually, how much variety there is in accents in such a relatively small country

i am always amazed by this as well.
do the different accents happen slowly, over time.  and why?

i really love the boston accent.
i hate the southern drawl.

new yourkers sound cool.

I think they evolved out of small relatively fixed communities without tv/radio -ie any way to hear a "national" accent.  New accents seem to crop up in young people I think especially when intereacting with people from other countries - there's now a lot of white kids in london who seem to talk in a kind of slightly twisted jamaican accent

[McGiver]

don't forget ebonics.

i wonder if the mass media will someday encourage many accents to find some sort of middle ground.

i think that's already started to happen a little bit. accents are probably more normalised than they were 50 years ago.  but i doubt it'll happen totally.

Technically, the Americans didn't beat the British. We we fighting amongst ourselves.
