sarah!!! what you tell me is so amazing! it's a revolutionary phenomenon. i am a phonetics freak -- a crime mike pritchard is so fond of accusing me of -- and if you only knew the countless volumes that written recommending RP as the ONLY way to sound posh in the UK. so what would happen if the labour party lost the population's favor? would everybody try to sound like olivier again? and it is simply NOT fair. now it turns out that les ross not only is beautiful but has THE accent too. most unkind of him. thanks for the information, by the way. love, wally ps: as to canadian english, i identified some five varieties when i was there. by the way, can you believe that canada is only SLIGHTLY smaller than europe? w
