Americans pronounce words like car, better and sweater with an /er/ at the e 53 while British say these words with an /e/. The British way of spelling “color” is “colour” and they write “favorite” a 54 “favourite”.

His accent is very popular, and Americans often think British accents s 58 very elegant (优雅的). Maybe this has something to do with the Queen.
