this accent debate is silly,but i can relate i have lived in many countries since i was 5 because my father is a diplomat i mean i have lived in south africa,india,east africa,america and uk..im now 24 in the UK so it does happen and i experienced in the US that its the number 1 country that expects everyone to sound American as diverse as it may be there is still a stigma if u dont sound like them..so melting pot my ass,but she is still young and prob very influenced and people usually say they can't make out my accent saying i sound english to american even afrikaans the last person who said 'man u hav a f&%# up accent' i said wht does it matter i'm a world traveller...womp
