I was raised in the UK. It is no surprise to me that he and MOST educated british people speak great English. It is truely their launguage. Many Americans and SURELY almost all minorities here butcher it. I remember coming back from England as a 6th grader being at least 2-3 years ahead of my counterparts here in reading and writing skills. I look back now and realize it is probably the biggest reason why I did graduate high school in time. (I was going south in many ways by highschool in all other academic areas).
