Do foreign speakers pursuing English instruction want to learn to speak English as spoken in the UK, or as in America?

It doesn't escape my notice that Germans don't spell it "Humour." Checkmate.

Seriously, though, I speak German and Spanish with enough fluency and an accent that leads people to think I'm native but not local. My accent is better than my vocabulary, but largely because I have a talent for mimicry. As such, I've been working on cultivating a South London accent for stage acting, and the more I listen to South Londoners on YouTube, the more aware I am of the vast differences from US English in accent, pronunciation, usage, syntax, rhythm, and inflection.

I assume you mean Cunningham vs. Rob, but the one with Guthrie is pretty sweet, too! The crazy thing is how much of his character's personality is shown through the swordplay. Even better, Cunningham is one of few villians who invites the audience to see why he's such a bastard (literally!)--nevertheless, I can't think of a villain I despise more.

What was the composition of this septum? Was it cartilage (and pretty rigid), or pretty much dermis?
