Had no idea it is a respected custum. So, welcome to the family.
I didn't mean to put people on edge. Are there no dialects in the US? Once spoke to a bloke who is a Brummie (from the UK Midlands) and I asked him to repeat what he is saying three times, then asked if it was English (it was). Just a strong accent. I live in the West Country now and it's a big learning curve from me.
May I ask why are we on edge of influx of new persons? I'm nervous by nature already. No need to answer if it's none of my business.
If you want to hear/read more about Britishness (although this is just one aspect), I suggest have a fun read of hxxp://www.effingpot.com which is by Mike Etherington.
I bought in 2010 "Working with Americans" when I had to join an company acquired by a US company. It gave me a lot of insighton working for them. Definitely a different culture. Left in 2012 so perhaps need a refresher. Definitely two nations separated by a common language.
