Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Who else finds it amusing that the American English accent is older than the British one? And also thinks it’s very funny when people say, “I can’t imagine historical English speakers with American accents! It’s too modern!” Uh... You do know that the Brits only tossed the R AFTER the American Revolution, right guys? So this is a thread for anyone else who finds it really, really funny that Shakespeare sounded more like modern Americans than modern Brits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
