I like british english because their accent is clearly.

Why ain't Guyana and South Afrika blue?
Ignore him he's a retard

Yeah unless they go into deep dialect mode
Worst accent I've heard out of the shaded areas has to be the scouser accent. Out of all the different British isles accents it's just awful to listen to

I don't have any problems with any of the English accents. The main issue with intelligibility between anglos is usually slang words that only exist in particular countries or minorities. You have to actively listen to rap music to understand 50% of the words negroes in america use.

never had issues personally
ESL accents like Indian ones can be indecipherable sometimes however
