Find me an American who pronounces mirror like it's spelt. Or tune. Or route.

Why don't you spell them rowt, toon and mear?

Found one!. I live in the Suburban Mid West. Here we say route, tune, and mirror. Now i'll admit some people in the far suburbs say melk instead of milk and wader instead of water. But the heartland is the land of the neutral accent. That's why most newscasters come from here. Sure I can't understand a Cajun from the south...but you can't understand someone from Birmingham either. Roight!

Nah, it is way more fun the British way.

Oh agreed. I think many American are actually jealous of the English accent and diction, it's pretty cool. By far better than a southern drawl"hey yall!" or a new york accent " Hey pauully pass me de buall". I don't know if an American accent works on the birds in England. But in America that British accent will get you laid anytime, just don't smile.

I couldn't say. I don't think I've ever got half way through listening to a brumy's sentence without experiencing a fit of melancholia.

You brits have the english language all backwards. It may be "fun" but its down right improper.
