Noble Friends,
Today the BBC is offering a brief and amuzing quiz to find if you have a
hidden British accent. The quiz has just ten questions about usage and
pronunciation, and takes five or so minutes:

According to the quiz, I have an "accent" closest to the east Midlands. I
would have loved to have fallen somewhere near Glasgow or Edinburgh.
[Sigh!] Much of my so-called natural accent is colored by my Iowan parents
and their light mid-western speech with soft extended vowels and a few
extra "r"s. But like wow dewd, you have to throw in like Californeeya where
I grew up in the sixties.
Have fun with this one.
Yours Aye,
Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge 🏴
