[quote=Anonymous]Odd that Washington DC viewers object to Reporter BBC’s accent as “lower class.” She does have a twang. But so do lots of English speakers. What economic class they belong to is not relevant as it might have been when Shaw wrote “Pygmalion.” And wasn’t he mocking exactly these comments about accent and class? Let’s judge not by the type of accent but by the content of the report. If hard to understand, try closed captioning. [/quote]
