“Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that we’re related for better or for worse…and try to keep the maiming and killing to a minimum.”

The Difference Between Gen Am and RP
The Difference Between Gen Am and RP
General American (Gen Am) and Received Pronunciation (RP) are often considered the "standard" or "prestige" accents of American and British English, respectively. While both are forms of the English language, they have distinct phonetic and phonological differences.
1. "R" Sounds (Rhoticity)
1. "R" Sounds (Rhoticity)
Gen Am: Pronounces "r" everywhere it's written (e.g., "run," car). It's rhotic.
RP: Only pronounces "r" when followed by a vowel (e.g., "run," but "ca" for car). It's non-rhotic.
2. Vowel Sounds
2. Vowel Sounds
TRAP-BATH: RP says "bath" like "bahth" (/ɑː/), while Gen Am says it like "bath" (/æ/).
COT-CAUGHT: Many Gen Am speakers pronounce "cot" and "caught" the same (merged), often with an "ah" sound. RP keeps them distinct.
NURSE: Gen Am has a clear "r" in words like "nurse." RP does not.
3. "T" Sounds (T-Flapping)
3. "T" Sounds (T-Flapping)
Gen Am: Often softens "t" between vowels to a quick "d" sound (e.g., "butter" sounds like "budder").
RP: Keeps a clear "t" sound in these positions.
