Yes, it's called the Mid-Atlantic or Trans-Atlantic accent and it's sort of a hodgepodge between an English accent and an American one. It can be learned naturally by spending time in both countries, or taught, as it commonly was in the '40s in the acting industry and at boys' schools. (This is why it's sometimes called a "boarding school accent.") It's less common today, though still used occasionally, as in Rarity's case.Also, what I would give to take lessons in this. My accent is too Midwestern USA and while neutral, it sounds a bit boring to me.

Though I have been known to adopt an Irish one for a change of pace and to confuse people. :3

I don't dislike it at all, but it's just what I'm used to, since I've lived in the area all my life and that's the accent that tends to be on tv and radio. I get really excited whenever I hear a different accent, because if there's anything I love more than ponies, it's linguistics!I'll bet your Irish accent is amazing. xD
