The British are coming the British are coming!
I don't think our allies across the Pond are being insidious but a little doubt has been creeping in. It started, to my observation, with all our 'infomercials'. Am I the only one who's noticed the rising number of, shall we say, 'working class' British accents? Next before I knew it, they'd captured hosting late night shows. Now and perhaps, a higher speaking class, is covering World News. And more than one station! Are we really prepared for this? I think they're trying to make us believe that Britishness speaking people are more accurate? Can that be? As an aside, I must admit I do put a little more credence in the Canadian broadcasters to whom I listen. ( I know, they are not British but they run a close second.) They seem much more serious to me. Who would doubt, among others, Peter Mansbridge of the Canadian 'National News'? Not I.
