They shouldn't even call it "English" anymore. They should just take all the extra words for tea and shitty breakfast sausage and dumb hats and call that "English" and the rest of the language can be re-named "American".
in progamming applications that are localizable we have to deal with different kinds of English as different languages. There is EN-US (usa), EN-CA (canada), EN-TT (trinidad), EN-GB (uk) etc...
in code you just treat each like a separate language

I thought the plot twists in TDKR were fairly well taught.
I've never heard a Brit call an American a Yank in real life and I've never heard an American call an Englishman a Limey. Those outdated terms only happen in the movies.

What you're speaking now is actually how English sounded before they made RP.

TDKR was a great movie.
Could have been lots more - the flaws are there and the fact is that the plots and story features of your regular comic book world can't be easily translated into a playing-it-straight present day setting without any niggles.

Both of these things happen daily in my life.

I have a southern accent. It's pretty shameful. That's why I avoid vents like the plague because it does no good to torture people with my shitty ignorant sounding accent
I shouldn't even be allowed to vote with this accent

Please let me make fun of you. It would be a kindness to me. It would bring me such joy.

When I was a kid I used to think that the Stockholm accent was what you used when acting, because that was the only thing you ever heard on TV.
In America, we tend to go for the "zero accent" for our film and TV - something that is largely inoffensive to anyone anywhere in the country.
We use our other accents in film and TV when we are showing bad people (ignorant southerners, new york tough guys, jersey guidos, dumb valley girls, etc).
If a character in American TV/film has an noticeable accent, something is wrong with them 99% of the time.

The accent used by BBC presenters is a constant source of debate. They used to insist on a variant of RP, now people are encouraged to use their own accent. Amazingly, both approaches seem to piss off exactly the same small group of people.

This is very true.
Although I would be remiss if I did not point out that the non-accent accent is actually English, as spoken in the state of California, by non-surfers, non-stoners, non-valley girls.
I grew up thinking that my English was "proper english". Because that's how people in California sound- just like film and television characters (who aren't British, or cowboys, or New York City gangsters etc).

If anyone in power in this country tried to declare an official "good" accent the country would explode.

Somehow I question that, given your favorite West Wing character is the most annoying one.
Men enjoy mighty pees like that all the time.
