Just curious.

It does to me. Of course there are numerous different dialects of it. But in general.. i prefer British english.. or even Australian English to this countries version of it.

What about you?

I prefer British English too. (:

yes it does.

i travelled from danmark to the netherlands with 2 americans, and their speech annoyed me to no end.

british, however, is much better. i have a british collegue [sad enough she's gone during the summer vacation] and listening to her talk is like listening to a light spring rain, bringing new life and rainbows wherever it goes.

..but that could be personal.

I think the American if you can find it without slang sounds fine.

I don't like how people from the south west or the North East sound. Everyone else sounds fine to me. Though I personally can't stand British or Australian Accents, Scottish or Irish sounds ok but I don't like anything else.

Sorry!

I wouldn't exaclty say American english sounds like 'crap', though, I'll admit that Irish/Scottish/Brittish/Aussie english sounds way cooler. English, by itself is more difficult to understand than other languages like spanish, though waaaaaay easier to learn than, say, chinese. I just like the flow of the origional english, the kind you get in the above 4 aforesaid nations. Care for a spot of tea, Gov'nah?

YES!! nothing like Scottish English.. I hate the American "R" ..like in [parrrrk]... I prefer [pa:k] =)

I don't mind the different accents.
