      Maybe she has started to use American spelling and words after being in the country for a fair while, after all even Arnold Schwarzenegger HAS to work with a speech coach so he can KEEP his accent, otherwise he would just sound like a typical Hollywood American.

        I always wondered how he kept the accent after so many years. I always figured that at some point he just started doing the same Ahnold impression that everyone else does, and we never noticed the difference.

          His voice is pretty much his trademark, so it is in his best interest to keep it.

          I know British folk who have lived in the US for years who sound exactly like Americans, and ones who have lived in the US for years whom Americans think sound British (though British think they sound Australian). Personality quirks, I think, have something to do with how much on assimilates an accent. I say this having had linguists “diagnose” my own accent as a mishmash of everything I’ve ever herad.

        That accent is fake. The speech coach is so he doesn’t forget his public persona. In private he speaks more like this: “I say, I shall return. Good day, ol’ chap.” He’s not Austrian at all! 😀

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,

London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place.
