I'm totally with you on that one, EU, since I thoroughly enjoy a good old posh English accent -- about as much as I do many other English accent varieties. I'm not sure if the phonetic 'correctness' of its sounds has anything to do with it (though it helps, I suppose). What I do know is that the characteristic stress, intonation, expressions and even the voice quality that often goes with it are anything but dull and pedestrian to listen to. |
