That "High" British Pronunciation

       OK, I’m fascinated with the sound of words.  Actually I find it quite sexy to hear Frances Anderton, one of the producers of Warren Olney’s wonderful radio show To the Point, say “dot com.”  Why?  She’s British with an impeccable upper class pronunciation, and her highly polished utterance of the language is very hard to resist.

       That more rounded British “o” in “dot” and “com,” with the perfectly articulated “t,” unlike my Minnesoda “t,” somehow has great sensual and seductive appeal to me.  I guess it’s hearing high-end lips steeped in class and culture “dirtying” themselves on the common clay of digital lingo that gets me!
