You do. It's called Australia.
You could make the prisoners actually work the land and stuff.
You never know, it might do them good.

They certainly seem to be doing better than you lot, lately.

Not sure about spelling, but I've read some very well-researched serious
scholarly linguistic articles that say that the British English accent
at the time of the American colonies was very much closer to the current
New England accent than to the current variety of British accents. It
seems speech in the "colonies" was and is much more conservative than
speech in the mother land. I don't remember what their evidence was,
there are obviously no audio tapes to compare.
It has the potential (and that dreaded "ring of truth") however the
reality is possibly very, very far from the case.
Both sets of languages have had an equal time to "evolve" into their
current form. The US has been much more influenced by immigrant
linguistics over that period than England has, so I am inclined to doubt
the validity of the claim.
I suspect both languages are equally distant from the English spoken in
(say) 1775.
Yeah, I know, those were all *exactly* the same response I had when I
first heard the thesis. But I do remember that the evidence was
convincing. Dammit all, I wish I could remember where I read/saw that. I
don't expect you to take my word for it, but to me, it really was more
convincing than I've managed to convey.
Yes. It is even funnier listening to their conversation because all the

Like I said. You'd be insane not to consider the why of it.
