I meant 'inaccurate' in that I failed to acknowledge that more than one accent was involved: Madonna’s accent, and the accents by which she was/is surrounded. I made it seem like Madonna’s accent was not an accent, which could then be construed that it was my intention to imply that Madonna’s manner of speaking was the standard manner of speaking in the English speaking world, and any other accents were non-standard – not at all what I had intended, of course!
I kind of feel like I faux pas-ed in crowded elevator –
or lift.
Bad, bad me!
