I think your mistaken. A language is not fixed. Itsa constantly evolving process with multiple variants all competing for dominance. There isn't a single English language. Not even in England.

@inkstersco - unfortunately some people find it necessary in order to get a good job. I like the different accents my students have as long as I can understand what they are saying, but in the current job market a lot of people need the "edge" that having a native accent can give you. This is especially true in call centres.

KomonHouseholdObject is a pretty cool guy. He knows when to throw in a meme, and doesn't afraid of anything.

Omg, you are so badass. I did not expect you to suddenly go into other English accents. You have so many tricky tricks up your sleeve.

[inkstersco]

I don't understand why anybody would wish to adopt the native accent of the language that they have learned. It isn't necessary in order to make a good impression. Quite the opposite, because natives are more likely to judge a foreign-accented speaker more fairly, like a learner driver. Awkward or unconventional speech sounds more graceful in the context of a foreign accent.
