"how perfectly American their accents are.

Isn't that an oxymoron?"

Indeed, an oxymoron. The yanks have been butchering the Queen's English for years. The American accent burns hole in my ears. I'm 20 years old living in Barcelona and my flatmates all talk with these horrendous American accents, and they are from Italy, Portugal and Spain! It kills me to think that our fine language is being destroyed by these stupid Americans. Time for some proper English I say.

As an American living in London for the time being, I must say it's funny to see comments about our butchering of what you assume is "your" language, considering I can hardly find anyone here that doesn't add an "r" sound to the end of every word ending with the short "a" sound; conversely, you all seem to substitute actual "r's" at the end of words for the short "a" sound. It's just weird.

Get over it, they're just different inflections, ya douche.
