    That is kind of accurate though if you’re basing the story on history. Like if it’s Robin Hood or King Arthur then the nobles will sound posh and the peasants won’t.

    Less of an excuse for it in high fantasy; I guess it’s a quick way to telegraph to the audience who’s who, but you’re definitely right that it reinforces traditional class stereotypes.
