Imitations are interesting though. I've seen several British actors playing their parts on the screen or TV speaking with impeccable "American" accents, even down to the gestures and facial expressions. Hugh Laurie and Daniel Day-Lewis, to name two. It is somewhat disconcerting to watch them on this-or-that show being interviewed and speaking in their original (for lack of a better word) accents. Takes a couple of minutes for the ol' brain to adjust to the fact that those are the REAL people talking, not their onscreen personae.

Scott's call them 'tatties,' most English call them 'spuds.'
PS. And 'fries' are 'chips,' and 'chips' are 'crisps!'
