    It’s very hard to find someone who speaks without accent in my Country, even the President of Republic of Italy doesn’t speaks with a neutral accent. Nevertheless there is a snobbery about regional accents, especially if someone speaks with a very strong accent and use some regional construction to formulate a sentence.

    I wasn’t completely aware about this issue in UK. I read about working class in London, that speaks Cokney, but I didn’t know that this issue was source of discrimination in different part of UK.

    P.S. Hi Kerin, I don’t know what happened. I wrote before on word pad and then I copied. I hope it’s OK now.
