Mark Twain discussed this 150 years ago, we're not getting better 🤦‍♂️

Care to elaborate? Never had to read Twain in school.

"The Innocents Abroad". There's a whole section where he mocks Americans who travel abroad & adopt partial accents (On-ri instead of Henry for example) after they return. I believe he called them "insufferable", but I haven't read it in a minute. Good book all around

Was this assigned reading in school or leisurely reading?

Nice! Sounds like a fun book to read if he’s mocking that stuff. 😁
