I should say that English varies throughout England. "Brit" usually means Londoner (and I don't mean Cockney.)

Has anyone noticed that a Massachusetter trying to speak Brit English sounds like a Liverpudlian? Also of note: Scots trying to deracinate their accent sound Canadian.

And when did hooded sweatshirts become “hoodies”?

I like to tease my British friends by saying that I’m surprised we didn’t leave earlier.

Since when did a common sweatshirt become a "hoodie"?>

And quite frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of the commercials with voice backgrounds having British accents......there's tons of them now.

I particularly like “whinging” instead of “whining”, and “stupid git”. :)
