Certain American dialects of English are apparently closer to the English of the 1700s than any dialect of British English, though, so you're moving away from purity quicker than we are. This. Apparently the non-rhotic version of english (dropping the R's off words) became fashionable in the mid 1800's IIRC. That's why our coastal cities like Boston sound so weird because they'd get weird influences from the guys across the pond. That's also why Australia sounds British (or at least close to it) and American's don't despite having a very short window between when America was settled and Australia was settled. --- If my daughter was in it, Id have to be the co-star - Deoxxys on porn <cite>Smarkil posted [p:886595975] in English is...
