Question: Before World War II, non-rhotic English (which sounded a lot like British English) was very popular and was thought of as a 'prestige' variety of English; many American Hollywood actors used this type of English in films. Then, after the war, use of this type of English steadily decreased in the US. Why do you think this happened? Make a claim and support it with reasons. In your response, be sure to discuss what this phenomenon says about the value (real or perceived) of specific features of varieties of American English.
