Sorry, that is complete nonsense. I think so too. Ask someone if a book they are reading was published in the UK or US, and I'll guarantee they will have no idea 90% of the time. The language spoken in the two countries is essentially identical. I don't know why people make up this pretence that there is a great difference between them. Even the accents are converging, Indeed they are. I know there are a lot of British, Australian and Kiwi actors on US TV and play spot the actor and then try to find a hint in the accent of their home country. It's almost impossible these days. as are accents within the UK. |
