One of the most annoying things I ever learned about T S Eliot is that he was born in Missouri and didn't move to the UK until his late 20s and just entirely made up that accent. | ||

Some ai assisted takes here https://www.quora.com/Did-T-S-Eliot-retain-his-American-acce... He's from a Boston Brahmin family so I doubt he had a real missouri accent to begin with Edit These are apparently from 1930s https://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Eliot.php Where some Midwestern features are still present ? Especially here, after the 2m32s mark https://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/authors/Eliot/Eliot-TS... | ||
