So I think that... Are there words that help you get into an American accent?
While you drink, I'll share that my Boston accent, my East Coast Boston accent...
When I was playing Leslie Knope, the one word that I had a hard time saying was, I still have a hard time saying, is government.
Which I had to say so much in playing a government employee.
But there's something about the word govern.

Yeah, like you get rid of the R. Okay.
Like, yeah, I have to deal with the government.
So because you'd want to say Spider-Man?
But I... Y'all, you were like, y'all, I'm Spider-Man.
I mean, I'm sure a lot of people don't know that you're British.
You know, the Brits are not always the best at American accents.
The Irish are a little better and the Australians are the best.
