Lovely post, Daisy-:)) Many thanks. Folks here on this side of the Great Pond perhaps are ignorant of the fact that you Southern English grew up hearing, if not speaking, an English much closer to what has become 'American pronunciation' with it's final r-sounds and flat 'a's' than this hyper-unreal Oxford accent modelled after Prince Albert, Queen Vicky's hubby, who couldn't really even speak English, as he was a German from Saxe-Coburg!!!

Bratwurst Boy, what I simply meant was that your formative influences, beyond our high school, have been mired in post-Vietnam rebellion and anger at ANY system! I'm sure you had a solid education, but your comments about English, not to mention your frequent vulgarities, seem to bear me out-:)

Compare too my point with Yorkshire dialect, in England's far north: thar = there skule = school Not only Germanic, but close to Appalachian Hill's talk here in the States.

Translation: You're merely a product of your time, not necessarily of your schooling. G.B. Shaw once remarked, after all, that the only time his education was interrupted was when he was in school LOL

You are a tad confused, Prince Albert has nothing to do with Oxford English, blame William the B@stard and his Norman nobility, they are the ones who introduced the upper class accent, the accent you speak of is the Anglo Saxon working class/peasant accent

the dialect comes from that, not identical, although it is funny how many words from OE I understand, the only dialect words I use are

Chipole for spring onion
chiggiwig for wood louse
quiddle for squid

I use waps jokingly for wasp and everyone still uses gert for large. My grandmother used loads, smeech for smoke, nisch for someone who is week and delicate

Great! I love learning things like that....Linguistic is fascinating! :)

Thanks for the riposte, Daisy! Indeed so, I was confused (..and more than a tad I should say). Am straightened out now. Your explanation of course makes absolute historical sense)) Probably knew it but just forgot that I remembered. If I never did, then I jolly well should've. Cheers again,
