“Greeting cards routinely tell us everybody deserves love. No. Everybody deserves clean water. Not everybody deserves love all the time.”

Perhaps accents are meant to reflect culture and background, and people feel duped when they are “acquired.” I find this a limited definition. Rather, accents are often coincidental.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you consider Jane Austen to be mere chick lit, then you haven’t really read Austen.
