I need to update this with more discoveries. But here is a post I made some time ago about Received Pronunciation. More specifically, it's about Upper RP, my favourite kind. This is when the English language comes alive and sounds like music. I could listen to RP all day long, provided it's Upper or at least Conservative. I have no use for Contemporary. It gives me a headache. Any other suggestions are warmly welcomed, and if you yourself speak in true RP, I would love to get to know you.

Listening to a great lecture on the Crisis of the Third Century. The lecturer has the most awful voice ever but I shall power through. https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/world-of-byzantium #classics #history #elocution

The #iPhone and I have been together through enough cycles now that its voice-to-text function should really know that I never mean poles. Also, I don’t say ducking a lot.
