Actually I never used the term British accent. Use ctrl + f please. I used the terms received pronunciation and English accent, which are indeed things. It's quite obvious you don't know what you're talking about. Medieval people in England spoke middle english, which has nothing to do with the language spoken today in England (and the U.S) other than being its ancestor. It is a vastly different language than both its decendents are to one another. Some Americans (whom many are of English decent) speak a dialect of English that is more archaic in some ways than RP (Received Pronunciation.) So it is silly to say that RP is closer to Middle English than Standard American. Then your final argument is a silly location-based one. Well I think New-Los Angeles is definitely an American city. It has the American flag on it and all.
edit: By the way, I was matching your abrasiveness, by your declaration of xenophobia while mantaining hyper-nationalism.
