of all the unlikely things that are portrayed in this show, this is the one that is the most unlikely. To think that the Ark would speak the same accent now after 100 years isolation, is ridiculous, but even further from the truth the MM and Arkers and Grounders all have same English accent as each other their populations being isolated from each other for nearly a century. I am not saying that a whole new language should develop within that time frame(for each population), but the accents would evolve but new of different words would be used by different populations to describe the same thing. eg, why did Emerson in Bodyguard of Lies refer to the keepers of the underworld as reapers, when that is the grounders term for them, why did he not call them 'Cerberus Guardsmen' or something like that. but it would be too confusing to the audience, and its part of suspending your disbelief to which enjoying this show is essential
