What do British people think of American accents?
Somebody just asked that about how Americans liked British accents. So I was wondering how it is, the other way around. Of course, we have many different accents, not one, so some might not like Brooklyn (New York) accents but like Southern accents, etc.
Where I am from, in St. Louis, Mo, many people say they don't have accents, because we often don't have Southern type (Ozark) accents, like some in Missouri, etc. But we have some unique words, I can't think of them right now. Many network newscasters speak a lot like we do here, without a clearly defined or recognizable regional accent.

I'm not going to lie and I don't like the majority of them. The southern accent just annoys me and the accent a lot of people in the north have sounds too monotone. Californian valley girl accents are not any better. I do however like the new york accents.
