I think that would be easier if you everyone agreed who'd set the default:
- the most (Indian English)
- the most powerful (the US) or
- the closest to the root (the British)
- cwmma 9y agoBritish isn't actually the closest to the root, American English is actually far more conservative then British English, for instance the dropping of Rs seen most places besides American English is actually an innovation.
- Analemma_ 9y agoA hypothetical "Académie anglais" would be about vocabulary and spelling, not pronunciation. Even the French aren't bothered by the existence of accents.
