1. A study that confirmed what we all probably knew or strongly suspected.

I bet it has even more effect on people's attitudes when it comes to forming an initial impression of the accented speaker's intelligence.

2. you can form all sorts of impressions from accents

southern - stupid
british - elegant
cockney - lower class/worker
French -arrogant

if you're aware of it, you can self correct.

Of course, I liked star wars, so British could be evil also.
