Unfortunately I, as well as several other TAs, have noticed a growing trend among posters from England. They all have terrible English, and I'm not the first to notice. Just browse the Music Discussion section for a bit, you'll get it :p

If you want a true British accent/dialect... good luck, doesn't exist. Guv is and always has been used in a specific area of a single city (London).
In fact I could use words from my home town 20 miles away and they would have no idea what I was talking about.
