The way it sounded in the 1700s or so, specifically.
Okay. Do you have a source on that? Be interested to see how they could confirm that
There's no source, it's nonsense made up by a journalist
Here's one. It's not identical, just closer to the way it used to sound than modern British English is.
Not a great source honestly, was expecting more of a linguistic study rather than this. Even the article doesn't entirely agree this is true.
English is a living language that has continued to evolve within its country of origin. Is your point that because the American dialect hasn't evolved as much suddenly makes it better somehow?
Additionally, English is the most common language on the planet and there are many dialects, but no one outside of England can claim theirs is the "correct form of english" because it's not their language.
This literally says what you're saying isn't true, except for the vague pronunciation of a single letter in one part of the US
Did you even read it? 😂
