I too had heard that the "English" accent was formed around the 1700's by the upper class and that the American colonies didn't accept it... I did a little research, and this is supported by a professor at Stanford named Seth Lerer. A link to a page detailing his lecture series is: http://www.teach12.com/ttc/Assets/courseDescriptions/800.aspEnjoy! And who's laughing out loud now Andy?
