I'm 8ad, and that's good. I will never 8e good, and that's not 8ad. 8ecause there's no one I'd rather 8e... than me.
About the Canterlot aristocrats speaking RP, it first annoyed me when I saw Sweet and Elite, especially because the Princesses don't speak that way themselves (so it didn't make sense to me that the nobles wouldn't try to imitate the way the princesses speak). I also simply disliked the whole "give the snobby characters the RP accent" thing and the fact that we never heard them speaking like that in earlier episodes that had Canterlot in it. Then I thought that perhaps what we were hearing in Sweet and Elite was a fad that Fancy Pants started because the nobles were imitating his speech, and he may not even be from Canterlot originally (perhaps he's from Trottlingham like Pipsqueak). Luna and Celestia, on the other hand, are ancient (at least 1, 000 years old) and don't necessarily get influenced into changing their speech to fit every fashionable fad that comes up amongst the Canterlot nobles (and Luna even had trouble adjusting to newer word usage and lowering her volume, much less changing her accent).
Pink Sugar Heart Attack!
Celestia takes pains to keep her mode of speech casual outside of formal announcements. Luna apparently hasn't had the chance to learn that.

Odd, I didn't get the update for Shades of Twilight either. I only saw it because the update posted on my watchlist for the author, not for my faving the actual story.
None of my Watched fics notify updates, I just regularly check my Watchlist manually to begin with.
