    Is this a joke? British English is fucking painful to listen to. I seriously cannot watch anything british at all. For the pioneers of the language, you sure haven't figured out how to speak it

    I'm American, so obviously I'm going to choose that... I cannot deny the fact that women who speak Brit-English sound far sexier.

    I probably voted americans the first time around, but now, I'd easily vote British American.

    In terms of cool to listen to/sexy to listen to(by a girl), British.

    In terms of just being correctly said? American with no regional accent.

    British English. All the stupid Z's, taking away U's and mispronunciations annoy the hell out of me.

    It makes it far more valuable in Scrabble, that's why. You Americans have cheapened the z simply to buff your scores.

    You also sap all the fun out of it by forcing us to use more U's than we should. There are only 6 of them!!

    British, obviously.

    The only good thing about American english is the word "gotten".

    Mentioned earlier in the thread, Americans saying "I could care less" makes me cringe so much it hurts.
    It's the opposite of what you are trying to say, gaaaah!
