Friendly reminder that the """""neutral""""" American accent is the only true English accent in the world. Isn't it a coincidence that Brits and Aussies can emulate it so well? It's because their accents are put-ons, superfluous. Look, you already copy our culture and social trends. Why not copy our accent, to? V.1.1

Actually, Southern American accents are the easiest to emulate. For anyone.

There is no neutral American accent. But, in any case, you're only referring to to rhoticity, so the mantra repeated ad nauseam that "old" English is the same as modern American English is nonsense. One feature does not an accent make. I could make the same argument about yod dropping in American English for example (due vs do for example).

You can't ignore either the massive changes over time or the multiple regional varieties. Hell, you can't ignore the multiple regional varieties in American accents. Try listening to a New Englander who pahks his cah in Hahvahd yahd and then we'll talk about rhoticity and the American accent.

Both accents have changed a lot over time from their origins (rhoticity in British English being a prime example). And more importantly, which accent are you even talking about when you refer to British or American English? Obviously you can point out the 2 prestige dialects in the modern day of each country. But in most cases. the regional accents of England today resemble the regional accents (spoken then and still usually in a less strong form now) of the past much more strongly than American English does to most regional accents, being as how American English had so many competing influences (a lot of Irish influence, for example, or the massive change in vowel pronunciation that followed large-scale German, Yiddish and Scandinavian immigration).

Game of Thrones is a perfect example of using this to the series advantage. Ned Stark sounds much more like an old northman than any modern American accent. Of course the dialect words are next to all gone and the accent is still different, but it is still a great way of giving that flavour.

tl;dr - this poster is a Muslim who spits on the American flag and wants to ban guns
