    My theory is that France got it bad during WW3, and many of the survivors relocated to the UK until the fallout could be cleaned up, which is why Jean-Luc Picard sounds like that.

    The real reason is much funnier.

      It’s england’s revenge for the norman conquest. The normans gave the english a whole bunch of new words and weird pronunciations. The brits just figured turnabout is fair play.
