The King's English

Because she was having difficulty understanding her students' accents, she said to one girl, "I do wish you Southerners would speak English!"
"We do," she replied.
"Well, it's not the King's English," the teacher protested.
"Sure it is," the student said. "Elvis was a Southerner."
