Anyone else cringe at the choice of words in the title? If you migrate and your pronunciation gradually mutates away from what you had originally, and if you then say that you lost what you had, you're invalidating the evolution you've gone through. Or, if the "americans lose their british accents" implies that [english accent = american accent + something you can lose], it's an American-centricity that treats the English accent as if it were something you put on to be a more convicing villain on TV.

- dmos62 7y agoThat very well may be true, but whether or not the article acknowledges that this isn't the right question is independent of whether or not this specific wrong question makes you cringe.
