Chances are you're right. I didn't look into the cast list because I lost interest when I saw it had AI in the finished product, but I wouldn't expect that cast to be the land of Matt Mercers and Jennifer Englishes

A short note: The usage of the word "Disability" in CANZUK+US Englishes is Ontologically impossible to imply upon Unihan languages. I refer to Geodeterminism as the root cause and there are no solution to that semiotic obstacle.

though it's possible that I (mis)remember the way Hughes read "luckily for us" with a "z" sound at the end because of the impact that Tony Harrison's poem "Them and [uz]" had on me a few years later, with its barbed reflection on multiple Englishes and the tyranny of Received Pronunciation.

Can we start teaching different dialects and styles of English in English class so that elitists can stop thinking that only high class English is valid but mostly so that British people can start calling it "Englishes" the way that they call Math Maths

In fact there are many "Nigerian Englishes" - pidgin, formal Nigerian English, broken English, informal Nigerian English etc.
