This is a bit light hearted. I would like to discuss the issue, but my personal question is mostly hypothetical as I'm not overly worked up about this.
I have lived in the UK for eight years, and still have a completely American accent. I know some people pick up the accent where they live, but I have not at all.
I know some people get elocution lessons to lose a strong regional accent. I was wondering if it would be nice to have a bland, rp accent. I get tired of people asking whereabouts in the States I am from, because it's boring to have that conversation over and over all the time. And, I know that some people have prejudices about Americans.
Would it be utterly ridiculous to try and change my accent?
