Just want to share this video on how to speak properly and most importantly, deflate the power of words and learn to speak properly.

Not directed at anyone in particular.

So what? British English is more native and therefore more standard than other varieties. That's not to say that others aren't relevant or appreciated.

Either way...Ddeubel isn't British and he uses it, so it can't be too regionalised.
