Pride and Prejudice and Pittsburgh

One of the two main characters in this book is an English girl living in the year 1812. Every second chapter is told from her POV, and honestly it was driving me crazy that the author didn't even attempt to make her sound like an English girl in 1812. So many Americanisms (“due to my father being away” (paraphrasing)), and current slang (“you've got to be kidding me”) that I was spending all her chapters being incensed instead of enjoying the book. I do understand that the author probably didn't want to go full-on Jane Austen, but there was barely an attempt made.
