Your favorite accents?

British of course. I don’t like any other accents, some of them I almost hate.

I feel like a lot of Irish people barely even have an accent different from an American one. If you listen to Cillian Murphy talk you can barely hear it. Which is funny bc I had to turn on subtitles for Peaky Blinders.

Scottish, then English. Then maybe Brazilian Portuguese.

This is called a Great Lakes accent. Syracuse sounds like Chicago and also reminds me of home. Look up videos and you’ll be endlessly amused.

Then move to S. Korea?

I lived in the Boston area for a decade. In some areas the accent is unbelievably exaggerated—more harsh than it’s typically done in movies. It’s kind of amusing at first, but eventually gets to be unbearable. See the Jimmy Fallon/Rachel Dratch “Boston Teens” SNL videos on YouTube.

DP. I don't think Zelensky's accent is "horrible"? He has a very deep voice, and his English isn't great, but it's a very typical Ukrainian/Russian accent in English.

It's the voice of a guy who has more pressing things to worry about than polishing up his English language skills for the international stage, ya know?

Scottish
Then Northern English but Lancashire, Mancunian, Liverpudlian slightly > Brummie or Geordie. Essex, Estuary is lowest on that list, then Welsh. (It's still higher than any following accent though, which would start to include Irish, New Zealand, Australian. Unfortunately Elon ruined South African)
