what's RP?
-
Received Pronunciation. You know. Neutral, middle class.

Ah, I see. Essex seems nothing like RP though

-
RP is spoken by middle-class Brits all over England regardless of region.
-
Ok. I thought it was the same as ABN (General Decent Dutch) you know, understandable.
-
Yes, probably. Standardised. This is excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8mzWkuOxz8 …

This is great. I get it. Standardised, an accent rather than a dialect.

Yes, exactly. Then we judge each other on ratio of RP to regional influence!
