We work with the UK several times a year. They can propose things and we have to stop ourselves cause at times the accent can give the proposal an air of authority. ItтАЩs like тАЬis that a good idea or is it because itтАЩs coming from a Brit and it just literally sounds correctтАЭ
Heard about a study (no reference, sorry) that showed people rated science presentations as more authoritative if the speaker had a British accent. Is this the legacy of PBS??!! ЁЯШК
I mean have you heard Richard Attenborough speak in nature documentaries?? There could be a single adult male tiger on the screen and if he said тАЬLook, at the juvenile hippopotamus as she gracefully swims with her mother in an African RiverтАЭ IтАЩd be all, man, that a pretty nice hippo right there.

Reminds me of Arrested Development, and MR. F.
By the way, Jon Richardson said "if there's not a carrot in that box, you're a psychopath" but they had to (clumsily) edit in "genius".
