I don't doubt that. I know the same is true with American accents. Most people on American TV have what I would call "no accent" but I suppose it's sort of a TV accent if anything as I don't know anyone who talks that way in real life. I'm from the midwest and when I lived in New Jersey, they made fun of my accent (in a nice way, they weren't trying to be mean or anything) and now that I live in the Pacific Northwest, I still get occasional teasing. I had a friend from New Orleans who would absolutely cringe in disgust anytime an actor tried to do a New Orleans accent.
Anyway, sorry for the off-topicness.....

well actually the TV accent as you call it is actually how they talk in Toronto Canada -- they send anchors on the news there to learn how to talk -- lived in TO and they do have the cleanest or best "no" accent around -- now that i live in the land of the southern accent - i am tormented by my TO friends for my supposed drawl -- and then the southerners tease about my lack of drawl or TO?? accent -- so i am just a girl with an accent with no home! -- but couldn't pay me enough to ya'll even though i do love to listen to my southern gals chat on!!

teehee!

Re Sean Connery's accent. Lets be honest, whatever he does he has that accent. Hunt For Red October: Russian? Untouchables: Irish? (seriously?) Last Crusade: Scottish was he? and someone i know mentioned he was a Spaniard in a film. He always sounded the same. Still, quality actor.

I'd like to clarify - Britain is NOT just England. *polishes chip on shoulder*

I'd like to clarify - Britain is NOT just England. *polishes chip on shoulder*

Is it England, Scotland and Wales? It doesn't include Ireland, right? So, would you say Patrick Stewart has an English accent then? (I know, there are more than one kind of English accent, but would his be one of them?) And Sean Connery has a Scottish accent, right? Is there any such thing as a Welsh accent? (Sorry for being so dim on this. My defense is that I'm from Indiana....if you've ever been there I think you'll accept that and take pity and educate me.)

Oh, and I'm sorry, The Signal. I keep trying to stop myself but I just can't help going off-topic. (I really should start my own "Educating Callista" thread!)

Yeah, sorry. It's just that its my number one peeve. Bah, even my aunt who was born here still calls Great Britain - England. Britain is Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Re: Patrick Stewart's accent. Yes I would say he has a posh English accent, even though Picard is French. Sean Connery has a scottish accent, and there are different accents here in Scotland as well. Mine is different from, say, someone born in the north east of Scotland. We are a right mish mash of people here in Scotland and the rest of the UK.

/edit: Oh, Wales does too, and they speak Welsh. And we speak mostly Scots, mixed in with English words (which is made up of other languages as well.)

So as long as we're discussing accents and what makes up Great Britain, I've got a question. What makes up the United Kingdom? Is it another term for Great Britain, or England or something other combination of countries?
