This is wrong. Britain changed english the American southern accent is most similar to how the british used to speak as far as im aware. The british accent is a more recent invention. It started out as elites in britain wanting to sound different so they could signify their status and it spread from there if i remember right.
Yeah, I think it was intending to refer to Noah Webster’s attempts at spelling reform in the early 19th century, but you’re probably right. Do you think I should take this down?
Other than a few spelling differences, which werent even standardized until recent time, what even are the diffences between written english in britain and the us? On the chinese side they have trad and simp but in english its all the same outside a few misplaced U’s i think.
In that article i linked it talks about how Queen Elizabeth talked with a bit of a drawl. Saying “Sarvant” instead of “servant” and “tigither” instead of “together” which isnt too far off from how a southern bell would say those words.

Meanwhile, Romans always have posh British accents. Spaniards and Portuguese, too. But always Romans and Greeks.

I don’t think it matters that much. Just figured i would let you know. Honestly disinformation about anglophones amuses me.
The post is about written language though isn’t it?

I’m imagining some British aristocrat sounding like a southern redneck
