Tom, no disrespect or anything, but now would be a good time for a Brummy to develop a thick skin........

Oscars Well.

Accents are going to be different depending on what region of a country someones from eg. Liverpool and Newcastle so this poll and thread is pretty pointless :pac:

As annoying as it can be, the worst English accent pales in comparison to the piss boiling heights of a bad American accent. I want to keep slapping them until they look like a pile of Superquinn mince.

I vote "vague poll is vague".

You should have a poll first to decide whether you should start a poll on what the poll after that poll should be.

Yamyams are too stupid/inbred to know when they're being insulted, though. Shame our accents get confused so much.

None of them bother me at all, Actually I like listening to other peoples accents,It makes them different.

I figured with the large amount of American Movies/TV shows/Music people in Ireland wouldn't have a problem with American Accents.

I find Americans extremely easy to understand they speak so slow though it cracks me up.

What is confusing, they all sound the same, and the whole place is the black country

Why isn't the Northern Ireland accent an option? Its like a law that when ever an annoying accent poll comes up the Northern Irish accent MUST be an option.


You better hope the UN doesn't find out about this..

Most North Americans speak Spanish anyway!

I work in Wolverhampton in the Black Country. When the riots were going on, I heard the following:


'They day now what they're riotin for'
'Well it's just the way they am, ay it?'
'Arrr'


It made my head hurt.

Define an "English" accent. They're all regional, and all radically different from one another. The same applies in America, tbh. But in England, for such a small Island, the differences are all the more unusual.

American accent isn't awful but it does get annoying the longer I listen to it. I love the English/Scottish accent.. not the one you hear on Corrie though. Yuck.

I completely misread the poll, thought it was which accent was preferable.

I'd much rather have the English accent over the American.

Dunno if anyone's pointed it out, haven't read the previous pages. But why did you put emphasis on the "OR" if you gave us an option to select both anyway?

Not fond of souther drawls but equally not fond or very strong northern accents.
This is starting to sound like an unpopular opinion post.

Why are American and English the only options? Aside from the fact that both places have dozens of completely different accents anyway, I'm fairly certain most countries have accents.

Personally, I'm not much of a fan of Parisian accents, but that may be because the few Parisians I know are snobbish tools.
