Lol.
Sir Winston Churchill, I think it was, once described America and the UK as "two peoples divided by a common language". Some truth in that.
Funny how stereotypes work...For a lot of Americans, whenever they hear a British accent, they just assume that the speaker is intelligent. Same thing works in reverse with southern accents: we Americans, from the North anyway, tend to label speakers with southern accents as rubes. The dangers of stereotyping, I guess.
But that brings up the question: what do our British friends think when they hear an American accent? I've often wondered about that.
