You know, back in the day, New Yorkers wanted to speak English like the queen, so they began pronouncing words in a British manner. What we got now is that obnoxious Brooklyn accent. No big deal, just the flow of words from culture to culture. The American culture caters (possibly by necessity) to the lowest common denominator- action movies, pop culture, etc. Every society relates to it, I sure I will see guys walking around in Dubai with their jeans falling off. It is the world that we live in.
