(I really didn't want to keep shitposting in the blind test thread, haha)

Globalisation will do that. I've had American colleagues pronouncing British words like PROH-cess & LEEverage (does that make them Canadian?) and British colleagues use American words like procesSEEZ, teevee, and bathroom.

Add Blackadder to your diet...

@joch I have to admit that at least some of it (like my using s in lieu of z with certain words) was a deliberate choice; lowercase ornamental calligraphy "z" is much more annoying to write than "s", and I wanted to be consistent. Yes that actually is the main reason I adopted UK spelling hahaha.

@Deep Funk Love Rowan Atkinson's comedies, been meaning to watch that for ages but keep forgetting!

@joch the Canadian for bathroom is washroom. Depending on the context, the distinction can be important.

Hey, @Lyander, are you saying that I have a "weird hodgepodge" accent?

;)

I'm not sure how far off "received pronunciation" I am, but my own voice always shocks me. I remind myself of David Attenborough!

Haha, I was referring to my own being a weird mix of General American, Received Pronunciation, and, _for some odd reason_, Filipino as well!
