Those with autism often struggle to pronounce words (or regularly mispronounce them) What is this called?
The BBC has a Pronunciation Unit I think. Was never sure if the way it used to get referred to on air as the ProNOWNciation Unit was a joke or how it was meant to be said.
I think what you're referring to is "received pronunciation" or RP.
But you're right that that RP was a standardised thing too, so I know what you mean.
