estuary english is like an essex accent not queen's english

@booshpower There's a lot of research that's been done proving that the Queen's English is drifting away from RP and towards Estuary...

You're a complete and utter retard.

@RobertByrne09 I know right.

@Mohrkai What we were saying is that there are British accentS and American accentS, but not really one British or American accent that spans the whole of the country. :)

@Mohrkai You nailed it! 'This girl' is from New York, but her father is Canadian.

You are worse, you're just parroting the words you hear your friends say.

Hehe, your accent isn't very Welsh. I'm Welsh :)

@Sesquipedaliantique I've recently moved to the far north of England. Once these people get drunk, I'm completely lost. Stick to your Estuary - it's lovely!

@Tempus0 I'm originally from upstate New York, but by this point I'd been living in the South Pacific for nearly three years. So it's anyone's guess!
