another little thing about the trans atlantic accent: it was also devised to be articulate and comprehensible when heard out of an old, lesser performing radio speaker. the quality of those speakers at the time could not reproduce intelligible human speech as good as today's speakers can, so people had to pronounce their words a bit differently.

The 'r' sound is pronounced most strongly in the western U. S. and is weakest in old established parts of the Eastern U. S. Some native cincinnatians barely pronounce the 'r' or the 'l' at all. Even if the r is the first letter, Cincinnatians barely say it. 'Road' really sounds like 'oad' and 'rain' like 'ain' in the Cincinnati accent.

I know some people that grew up in the US and studied abroad in the UK and came back speaking with a sort of transatlantic accent. So it can develop naturally under the right circumstances and given that you're the kind of person that borrows the speech sounds of those around you.

I once took a phonetics class in which the teacher impressed us by showing that she could write out the phonetic symbols used in bringing up a wad and spitting. She could also perfectly duplicate the sound of one of those little metal frog clickers.

The american kind of -R- is common to some German dialecty in my vicinity (Herborn, Rennerod, Westerwald area in the state of Hesse, The same sound is spoken for an -L- in one German dialect one hundered miles east of that. Strange.

It's funny because the trans-atlantic accent used to come on round at my granny's house when she was watching the old movies, and being Scottish she would just say -wit a load of pish, No one spoke that way back then-

I wonder if the Mid-Atlantic accent wasn't a necessity in early movies because of the primitive recording technology at the time. Vocal consistency would have been important so the characters to be understood.

Huh. Definitely cool. And yes, the American r is difficult to learn. Even for a native. I was born and raised in the US. And I had to have speech therapy in elementary school to learn to say it -correctly-.

I-m 19 and I still can-t completely say the American R. I-ve lived in America my entire life but I spent a lot of time with my English grandmother growing up so I wasn-t around the sound very much.
