I've noticed that myself. Actually, you've just reminded me of a conversation my former Taekwondo instructor Steve, an Australian, was telling me he once had while overseas (I'm not sure where):
Resident - "I must say, you speak very clear American!"
Steve - "I don't speak American. I speak English."
