There’s no “UK accent” (nor “us accent”)
There is an accent called General American (GenAm), however.

FishFace@piefed.social 1 day agoThe US one evolved as well, just preserved rhoticity which is a major feature. There’s no “UK accent” (nor “us accent") either - West country accents for example are still rhotic

Sure but even that isn’t all encompassing. I’m from SoCal and my accent/dialect has so many archaicisms that I’m probably one of the only people under 50 with the damned thing. What I get for being around old people I guess.
Though I do suppress into something approaching the general accent when talking to others, mostly because for example Mountain Dew gets mangled into münten doo.
