Brit shares the one-word 'dead giveaway' that American actors can't do an English accent

Today my ability to detect bad writing and poor research from USA authors trying to write about Regency England was overwhelmed by a narrator who went from using USA vowel sounds in a supposed English accent to the repeated use of "War wick" with a long a. In the second half of the book the name was used over and over.
Ouch.

Me, in a private room at karaoke, singing an Irish folk song: "Man I am NAILING this. Move over Derry Girls, there's a new lass in town."
Me, curious about how it came out, recording me singing it a cappella at home: "oh. ohhhh noo. oh god no. what have I done. I'd like to formally apologize to the Dubliners, to Ireland, and to the very idea of accents themselves."
