I confess to preferring standard English. I don’t mind accents, but it’s the bad grammar that gets me, and the ignoring the ends of words. You are particularly aware of this when you work on radio. You almost have to clip the ends of each word. This caught my eye as I’ve just written a new book where I write in the accents (totally forbidden when you write scripts) – well I had to make Cinderella sound common yes? she was after all, from the wrong side of the tracks. 🙂

Thanks for reblogging, Lucinda. Have you got a favourite Britsih accent?

She missed a lot of them out, but every different dialect might have taken considerable time!

I’ve seen a video on the same lines, but it was a guy not a girl. Fascinating, isn’t it?
