Poll: You like Birtish English or American English?

Is this Birt dude famous?

I've found a typo. Birtish is wrong. The right one should be British.

I'm so sorry.

I prefer British accent & spelling, it sounds more formal. Conversely, American accent sounds freer.

Hi,

I like Canadian English!

I like all the differences between both!

And Oi loike Oztrai'jen English best - it just sounds keol. lol

American English (resp. Western and Northern American accents) is pretty easy for me to understand while Southern accents and Eastern accents I find more difficult.

British English sounds rather posh sometimes and depending on the dialect, it's quite hard, too.

Esp. Scottish accent is almost impossibl

American English is the English of today, It's just more relaxed, layed back and come way natural compared to snobby kind of fake British English. It's just too eloquent, it doesn't come across.

So a big vote for American English here!
