Well the videos i posted they are speaking properly are'nt they, it's called a regional accent, like the vast majority of the country speaks with, not like someone who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

SOB, I was repeating MJ's gag...

 

I know full well from my visits up north that we southerners are regarded as "Cockneys" universally up there.

Through earlier studies of the English Language with the OU, I became aware of "Communication Accommodation Theory"; in simple terms, this says that we tend to modify the way we speak so that the other party understands us better.

 

As you have adequately demonstrated, the "Received Pronunciation" accent is widely regarded in a negative way, these days - unfairly, perhaps, as people tend to speak as they were taught to speak and one can't judge a person's character by accent alone.

 

Though less faithful to the Germanic origins of the language, we southerners shall continue to pronounce "bath" and "grass" in our own 'peculiar' way! Wink

Well the whole point of my post was to show Billyblade that not all English speak like Dick van Dyke from Mary Poppins, or with that posh (no region) accent, as Billy likes to (very badly) try to imitateInnocent
