Hallo. I am Bernie from England.I spent 3 days in school before I quit and became a huge English douche who looked down on everyone else for not having as many bacterial colonies in my mouth. It actually makes my accent stronger!
You're just jealous because we're #1 in total crimes, rape, CO2 emissions, divorce rate, teen birth rate, heart attack, McDonald's restaurants, plastic surgery, and prisoners.

If our accent wasn't so irritating, we would hold the British accent, the Australian accent, etc., in such high esteem. It's the whole reason any English narrators even get a fucking job. So, be happy that our accent is so shitty.

Why the fuck do you sound so stupid you buttfucking faggot. America strong!
What? U jealous biotch from some backward far off land. We hear what u sound like. You damn well know American accents are sexy and are the most coolest and normal sounding voices in the world. I know what I hear and I damn well know that American accents are great.
there is no normal or standard american english, there are alot of dialects klie midwestern standard were people combine standard northern with standard southern, so they sound like a typical american but say things like rass-le instead of restle or war-shing rather than washing. but i dont blame you brit islanders for not knowing that as few americans even realise it, but really you need to stop lumping us all togeather as well when you say american that means nothing.....a new englander, southerner, midwesterner, westerner, west coast american, alaskan, hawaiian, porto rican? point is america is more like the whole E.U. then it is like one individual country hell even an iowan and an nabraskan are not all that alike even tho there both midwestern american.

It's sad; this is actually an interesting topic of discussion to me and yet somehow it always devolves into "my country is better than yours" patriotic dickery. It'd be nice to know why General American sounds stupid apart from the fact that it's American.
If there's one thing in its favor, at least the rhotic accent is consistent with orthography, in contrast to whatever this person was suggesting: >>22
ACCENT PREFERENCE ACCORDING TO AN AMERICAN COCHLEAR IMPLANTEE:
1. Maryland (not Baltimore)
2. General American Accent
3. Canadian
4. Midwestern
5. German
6. English Accent
7. Australian
8. Pakistanian (it's really pretty~)
Filipino accent in English...god, no. Spare me.

>If you think y'all is a redneck word, you've never been down here. Everyone, I repeat, every-fucking-body uses it, Except maybe English teachers, but I've heard a few use it (in informal situations, which is when anyone uses it). I know people who are the farthest thing from a redneck that use it.
I recall reading that people from the Northern United States, when asked to guess a speaker's socioeconomic class from a recording of his speech, invariably guessed that people from with Southern accents were poor and uneducated. They weren't able to differentiate between an upper-class Virginian accent and the barely-intelligible speech of an Appalachian inbred.
