I think we're really talking accents and colloquialisms which are pretty wide ranging just within the USA;
And someone undertook to document that huge variation.

Bought the first volume/tome but did not follow up with the additions. Good coffee table book if you have a really well-built table.

We've been watching Scott & Bailey, recommended here, on Netflix. We find it amusing that the show has subtitles, which are spelled out in British English.
Two points.

1) Subtitles, seriously?

2) "British" English? There is English English, and no other sort.
Offhand, my GPS disagrees...it lists UK, US, and Australian English as options.

There should also be a Boston option.

It's the same as the regular US English, but every destination you put in, it first says, "You can't get there from here."

Yeah, well, some of us don't rely on GPS for our cultural and semantic knowledge.

That's funny... I use the (female) Aussie voice for my work iPhone. "Turn left into the car park." Much more polite than the standard Siri voice.
