on 11/25/2009 I can only imagine the links to the videos for the British accent are broken because of the rediculousness of them. They were the worst accent I've ever heard. The assumption that there is one uniform accent for all of britain was inane, and even so that supposedly uniform accent doesn't even exist. No one in England, Ireland, Wales or Scotland speaks like that. You clearly have never studied British dialect or regional accent, so why assume you're an expert? I'm still amazed you figured out how to use your computer.
