English speakers, does an American or Canadian accent annoy you?

Accents are accents ! It is so nice to have such a rich variance rather than the flat tones of the BBC . The best" English "accent is in fact Scottish - that of Inverness - honey off the lips . The harsher intonations of Glasgow , Birmingham , Livewrpool and London are sore on the ears . American ? US ? Canadian ? Melifluous ! ( apart from the big apple ! )

it's not annoying, but canadians, americans, Britt's, and Aussie all sound funny if your not from there. Canada is probably the funniest

Some American Accents Annoy Me.

For Canadian Accents, I Am Canadian, But I Really Have Never Noticed Too Much Of A Difference From A Normal American To Canadian...

Very much so.
American accents are absolutely atrocious. Id take the english one anyday.
When i hear an american accent i actually want to leave the room. Its not the people that annoy me, just that ridiculous accent.

I'm American and my husband is from Liverpool. His accent is completely different than the English one you're describing. We constantly make fun of each other's pronunciation. I have a Baltimore accent (which even I find annoying sometimes).
He does get annoyed by the way some people speak. But it's all relative isn't it? Some people find certain accents charming, while other's find them ridiculous.

OMG I've asked this question 3 times and it has been deleted every single time. The British people I speak with put "r's" everywhere and I can't figure out why. Instead of saying "drawing" they say "drawring" and instead of "idea" they'll say "idear".

I have never heard any complains of my accent when I was in England but I don't think I would ever say anything to them during a conversation.

To be honest, yes it really annoys me. Sorry if I offend!

yes yes yes yes yessss. i have nothing against americans or canadians but really, the accent IS annoying. and english accents are VERY different everywhere you go. i can't quite work out where your friend is from just by your description but some english accents are worse than others.

Your friend sounds like she's misprouncing her words. That's not a problem with the American accent, just the way she's speaking, eh? Cheerio.
