[whatever happened to the giant Space Grapes?] In my opinion: Up until, say, 1970, English, American, Australian & Canadian were drifting further apart. I think that since then they have been drifting further together again (because of increased electronic communication between the countries). I know from experience that accents are dying out in the USA (slooooowly), and everyone is picking up the Southern California accent. Why? 'Cause that's where the TV shows come from. No cute signoff, -Glenn
