The sheer size of this post made me leave at first, but I came back to it as I had some time and enjoyed it thoroughly. Very good.
When you are based in North America you hear a lot of DYKWIA on loudspeaker, but it is never as enjoyable as the ol' English (typically failed) attempt of the subtle/humble DYKWIA. I think it's because I feel I can give them some backstory from the accent, dress and tone whereas in the US they're mostly the same to me.
