The english get about a bit...

Tut, tut, tut, Lyle.

The funny thing is that globally I have found people adore a refined English voice over that of a dying dust yard hillbilly cowboy.

It is a regular source of amusement in lectures as I point out the finer points of the English accent and offer my own very good American variations.

You get a bit more respect with the BBC vibe, and certainly over that of the Bill Reilly rant vibe.

Right now, you did Bill Reilly. "Fuck off". Living up to a nation of types.

Even out here it is being observed how US media presents itself.

so Americans are not refined enough for your haughty tastes? For a person who believes in "equality" certainly you don't class yourself higher simply due to your accent which any fool can copy. Mark Twain had an accent are we to believe that he was some sort of toothless knuckledragger? Will Rogers had an accent are we to believe that he was some kind of uncouth ape man? The South and Southern accent is one that many love and respect the world over....certainly England saw the South as more refined than the dirty Yankees in the Northeast.

I thought MarkTKO said Miles had an American accent? The classic plummy BBC accent is a product of the south anyway and Miles is a Northener. From t'up tha road.
