I have a mixed accent similar to the transatlantic one; I grew up in an international school, but I would then move the England where there is a mix of both accents and my voice box seems to choose which accent comes out stronger

Also influencing Language, one of the transformations in the way of speaking during an Era has to do with diction, affected by people's dental arches.

Would love to learn to talk like that just for the laughs. I’m pretty sure Stewie Griffin talks with a transatlantic accent in the first 5-6 seasons and that was the joke they were going for was dude is American but talks like that because he’s a pretentious narcissist 😅

For a linguist, you don't seem to know that the RP accent is not a feature of London, but of the upper class toffs who mainly lived in the Home Counties, the affluent areas around the capital. A true London accent is not 'refined' at all.

My accent is all over the place, I could say trans-world

[@davidserlin8097]

Is this the origin of the accent affected by people like Katherine Hepburn and Tallulah Bankhead?

FDR doesn’t sound very transatlantic to my ear

[@b0s0x4ever]

He definitely had a transatlantic accent, but that clip wasn’t a very good example of it.
