Yes, yet another good tv show to watch. Exciting, isn't it?
shareThere has been. For 3 years now.
shareEven that version borrows heavily from The Canterville Ghost.
shareWell, it is one thing to find inspiration in literature. It is a completely different matter blatantly copying something word for word just because your people can't be bothered with a different (albeit - correct) accent.
share"We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language."
We can't seem to get enough of your accents in period pieces, though.
"Now, some of you may have difficulty with my accent. Of course, technically, I don't have an accent. I'm English. This is just how things sound when they are pronounced properly." - Jimmy Carr
I, on the other hand, do have an accent. To me, English is a second language. Haven't even been to an English speaking country. To me, even a western is a period piece. :)
Ah, my mistake.
Americans mostly defer to Brits as more proper. But there's an urban legend that Shakespearean English is pronounced more like American English because Imperial Britain was bringing so many more people/accents into the mix. I had a Singaporean physics teacher who constantly switched between Received Pronunciation & a Chinese accent.
