@themontypythonmuseum Yep, sorry I got confused. I was thinking of the other bookstore sketch with Idle playing the tobacconist and Cleese as the shop owner. They are all in that sketch. But, I finally found that one. Thanks.
@marksoutof10 He may be referring to a theory that pronounciation stays the same when people are moving, or migrating. Meanwhile the way people talk changed in the UK. It changed slowly, of course, but faster than elsewhere.
@marksoutof10 Rubbish! Not all Americans pronounce it that way. Here in "new England" we say Pie-thon (like marathon). But the pronunciation of our town of Bath would make you cringe. And have you heard? The British dialect is a modification of the way many Americans talk, so you (I assume you're a Brit) can sound like nobility and the royals. And from our Revolutionary War on, we made at least four different major dialects across this vast continent - intentionally not like the king's speech.
@eastportland And another difference between US and UK: the Brits think a hundred miles is a long way. And the Yanks think a hundred years is a long time.
Almost nobody sounds like royalty here in the UK, apart from the Royals that is. Everywhere you go people sound different. Look up clips from a show called "Auf Wiedersehen Pet" ;)
Did Ethel the Aardvark join the marines before or after she went quantity surveying?

Does anyone know where to find the version with Terry Jones? It is really the only good version.

@mkarmam There never was a version with Terry Jones AFAIK. The other versions are with Marty Feldman and John Cleese.

"The British dialect is a modification of the way many Americans talk" - Are you sure? Isn't it the other way around?

@H4rryF OOh! I'm going to have to search for that, then. I haven't heard that in AGES.

Oooh, it NEVER fails to annoy me the way Americans pronounce 'Python' as 'Py-thaahn'!

@marksoutof10 Yeah! It's supposed to sound like "pie-thon." :)
