I heard today that Queen Elizabeth is trying to change her accent, to sound more like the rest of the people in Britain--more "common," I guess, is the effect she's going for. The accent of privilege and class seems to be on its way out. By the way, Andrew Taylor has a great new book out on accents: A Plum in your Mouth: Why the Way We Talk Speaks Volumes about Us. Check it out!
