What's an English accent? People from Yorkshire talk very differently to those in, say, Hampshire.

No matter how low-class an English accent you have, Americans will always find it more posh than an American accent by far.

Sorry, we've not traveled the United Kingdom with a tape recorder, studying everyone's accents. By the way, don't say "American" accent, because don't you know that there's North and South America? And both the US and Canada speak English, and they have way different accents. And don't get me started on how different people from New Jersey sound from people from Alabama. Or even the difference between Wisconsin and Michigan. Or how about Northern and Southern Ohio, that's also a world of difference. I'm just saying.

Oh, I've been told off for saying American accent before. =P I wasn't expecting Americans to know the difference between different regions (I don't between American regions), just pointing out that if you're getting picky about accents then there is a lot further to go than just countries. I think possibly you think I was being more serious than I was. Anyway, moving on... =P

I'm just saying that it really doesn't matter, lol. Also, if you say "British" in the US, you'll be taken for "English," and not "Englishscottishwelshirish." The same way if you say "American," you'll be taken for "from the United States," not "Unitedcanadianmexicanbrazilianperuvianetc."

I agree... if I went to America, I would be told I had a scottish accent, not a british one. But if you were called "british" when you were actually english, then people might think you were welsh. I dunno. Maybe I'm making mountains out of molehills. Still, viva la Scotland, awright dunderheid, aye, ye'r aff yer heid, etc.
