Hi there!
I've found it very interesting, but can't explain in a correct way, why it happens.
There are some words which must be pronounced in american and british variants differently, for example:
dance AmE /a/(frog) BE /ɑː/
can't AmE /a/ BE/ɑː/
globalisation AmE /ai/ BE /i/
etc.
There is a tendency even between native speakers pronounce such words in an American manner.
How do you pronounce them? Why do you think such a tendency exists?
