Thanks for your replies.
What I had asked about on the other forum was about terminology and one word specifically, not accent. Just have the books to go by. This one word is used in English speaking countries in western Europe, England especially.
It would not be used in the USA. That word is 'fortnight' meaning two weeks. I know there are many 'maybes' but I'm really curious to know how that came about. Before I reached that word I had a feeling that it seemed like an English person speaking but that word clinched it.
Any thoughts on this anyone?
