Answer 4

British

Answer 5

The British accent is the best in the world if it is well-spoken, except perhaps the Irish is better. West coast American accents are great, but any like Loyd Grossman, not so hot. Love Joey on Friends - what would that be (apart from American of course!!) My experience in America as a Brit is that they think we're Australian, but then I guess we always think Canadians are American, but at least they share a continent!

Answer 6

My language is spanish. I speak english too, and I like very much the british accent, but sometimes it's difficult to me to understand it. So I rather american accent.

Otherwise, there are several american and british accents

Answer 7

Some american accents and some British though some British accents are horrid like Brummie accents and geordie, uuuugghhh.

Answer 8

the British

Answer 9

I don't believe that there is one British accent or one American accent. There are many.

If you're comparing RP (Received Pronunication) with a standard vaguely midwestern American accent, I think there are pros and cons.

RP, the Queen's English, is probably more phonetic, but the American midwestern variety is more globally influential in 2007

Answer 10

British, I guess. I am American and don't really get to experience my own accent.
