American English is the bastard child of the English language. A shame to the English that they engendered that, particularly given the exposure.

Then again, the English spoken in New England (particularly Boston) is quite similar to what you hear as British English (which in itself is artificial... what you hear on the BBC was invented by the BBC, it isn't really a dialect in any part of the Isles). Cockney, for instance, is rarer these days, and utterly incomprehensible. Geordie is very funny, and if we're talking about the best worst-pronounciation it has to be the Scottish Brogue, and by far. God damnit it's spectacular.

I find the Australian accent tremendously suitable to women for some reason.
