What you think of a particular language, dialect, or accent is about your attitude towards the people who use it, not some intrinsic property of the linguistic variety itself
All varieties are valid, systematic, worthy of study and respect

Happy to have contributed to this!
They’re great, the R packages saved me so much time during my Diss!
Bristol and a lot of the South West is underrepresented as well, aside from the odd paper here and there. There’s some really interesting levelling of the traditional dialect happening down here!
Very happy to have been a part of this!
Congrats Matthew!
This week I had the privilege of presenting my recently submitted MSc dissertation work at #uklvc15, my first major conference where I met some incredible people who had some very inspiring comments.
Thank you to @clrnance.bsky.social for providing the opportunity to present at such short notice!
Tell me you don't understand accent bias, without telling me you don't understand.
Assuming someone is an 'entitled, snobby plonker' because of their RP ('plummy') accent *is* accent bias...!
The training we're leading addresses *all* types of accent bias.
