[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think British children have a better vocabulary than American children of the same age. Parents are more involved and they would be mortified if their children spoke like Americans. They don't dumb down conversations and they realize children can learn to converse in big words. [/quote] Wow, no. Where did you live in the UK? The percentages of well-spoken kids and involved parents in the UK are the same as in the US. It’s just that people in the US are so charmed by the British accent and associate it with posh tv shows and period dramas, they think the speaker must be smarter and more sophisticated than that kid with the Texas twang.[/quote] +1 It's such a myth that all (or even most) Brits speak like the actors we see on TV and in movies.
