User´s info
I'm a 35-year old British writer, film-maker and event curator, of Indian extraction.
I'm devoted to the English language and its many variants around the world, and am fascinated by pronunciation, etymology and language change.
I was educated in the Southern English county of Kent (prep school, aged 6-13), then at the famous Berkshire "public school" Eton (high school, aged 13-18) and finally at Oxford and London Universities.
I mostly speak a rather "posh", "home counties" subset of "RP", or "received pronunciation", although my accent sometimes relaxes in places, in the direction of a more colloquial general-London sound.
Like many actor/broadcaster types, I sometimes catch myself unconsciously tending towards the accent of the person I happen to be talking to!
I travel widely, and am particularly familiar with English as spoken in Wales (South and North), Scotland (lowlands and highlands), the West Country of England, the East and West Coasts of the United States, South Africa and India.
