No such thing as a British Accent! ~Scottish ASMR Muzz~

There's no such thing as a British Accent! That's right, you're talking about an English accent...! Yes that's the topic for this video. A whisper ASMR stereo rant (In a Scottish accent) right into your ears about this pet hate of mine :-)

The term British accent is almost always used to mean a specific type of English accent, usually RP/BBC or the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, Judi Dench and the like.

I have never heard anyone refer to Ewan McGregor (Scottish), Rhys Ifans (Welsh), James Nesbitt (Northern Ireland) as having a British accent, even though they are British.

Technically Benedict Cumberbatch does have a 'British' accent of course, as do I (Scottish), but by saying British in this way is too vague. Like if I told the police that some guy from Tijuana just tried to scam me and I said I dunno where he's from, he had a North American accent, they'd be like "huh?".... It's too vague.

So if it became a trend to regard everyone from Boston as having an "American" accent, whilst referring to all other American accents by their own specific names, Southern, Californian, New York, etc then you'd be rightly asking me "Why do you keep referring to the Boston accent as American?" Why not call it what it actually is? a Boston accent?

Hopefully that helps to clarify my defence on his serious issue
