There are two kinds - the old style Peter Donaldson one, and the newer one which is more informal. And in actual fact, the second type is often quite different as the news anchor often use their own regional accents as well. |

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

I never remember which one is "right" either |
There's a trick though. "Gray" is American-English because of the "A", and the "E" in "grey" stands for either Europe or England.

In July, I will be helping children (some older than me) with difficulties worse than mine with music for work experience (I think only people in Britain do work experience).

I love reading other people's random truths about themselves. Fascinating.

I like to look around at topics without posting in them, but find out things that people have said that they may not know I know about because they don't know that I've read it.

Hehe, I'm not American. I'm a Taiwanese student who went to a bilingual school. My current classmates speak English with a Taiwanese accent. Now that's something you should hear..."impressive". 
I've never even been in an English speaking country for more than a month before. I went to LA twice on crappy study trips, a couple of years ago when I was free from severe academic stress.
