| What do you think of non-rhotic English accents? Do they sound melodious? Do they sound ugly? Share your thoughts. By the way, a non-rhotic accent would be, for example, the Received Pronunciation typical of the BBC and the queen of the UK. A rhotic accent would be the typical, standard pronunciation of most Americans as seen on television and in movies. |

| Depends on which accent you're talking about... I like most kinds of British accents, but Bostonian or something, is not as pretty... |

I like them, not to mention they are dead sexy if spoken by the ladies.  |
