So "Received Pronunciation" is how the English language sounds when spoken in its default nature. This is how people sound in Southern England.
Americans speak with an American accent, but for some reason they have trouble accepting this.
Why is this? I've never understood.
>inb4 "Regional variations" - you know how an American accent differs from someone not from America

"I'm American I don't have an accent."
why they say this?

There are many 'american' accents and also many 'shitty little island' accents as well. Your RP is a shitty artificial dialect much like the TV English in the USA.
Did you have a point?

Because American is as default as you can get considering we stole almost all our words from everyone.

Thats because it's not an American accent
We speak American English which I'd quite different from yours just as Australian bogans speak Australian English not English
Fuck off with your inflated sense of importance, our languages are far from the same anymore and you know it

Except that certain people from certain regions of America have a pretty distinct accent.
American English is the purest form of English.

Fuck are you talking about, TV speaks American English
It's devoid of region based dialect just like Netflix is or Hulu
It's literally becoming the world's language and eliminating most other forms of English dialects
Look it up I bet you'll find yourself thoroughly enthralled on the subject

Standard american accent is nearly identical to "Recieved Pronunciation". We have truckloads of accents in every region, but aside from an extremely similar soft "d" and "t" sounds, your average american speaks a much more correct English than you bongs.
