How does any of that contradict this being NIH? Just because it's ken's NIH doesn't change that that is what it is.

If you take a moment to pause the "ra ra shish koom ba" cheerleading, it's worth contemplating what manner of content this site would have that would've caused this.

"go against the grain" Right now on the front page there's a linguistics article stating that it was the British-English that diverged more, not the American version. So, let's talk who 'changed' when you drop received pronunciation.
