I have lived (England, France, Italy, Spain, Japan & the US) and worked (Ireland, Germany, India) around the world. I adore accents. I listen not only for the country but the region.
I became engrossed with the origins of both accents and phrases. One of most fascinating & enjoyable books on the topic is Bill Bryson’s “Made in America,” which demystifies the origins of the English language and why Americans speak more traditional English than the English do. (I know, I know … just read the book). It also demystifies any assumptions that our founders were “puritanical” – they were anything but.
