Some British accents are so hard to understand that you need someone to translate it for you. I have seen some movies from Britain that need subtitles to understand what they are saying, now that is annoying. If you are speaking the same language as I am and I cannot unerstand you, then you should learn to speak a proper accent.
There are some accents that I do find funny to hear. They are the Kiwi accent, The Yorkshire accent and the Cockney accent. I really love how some people in England butcher the language so badly, and that is funny.

This is an interesting comment b/c General American English is considered to be "neutral" English (just about every national broadcaster speaks this way), and GAE comes from the Iowa which is about as rural as you can get.

Amish don't sound anything like Texans or southerners. They mostly have a "nuetral" accent since most of them are up in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
By the way what "rural American" accent are guys talking about? Never heard of it.

Can you people who keep saying "rural American" tell where this rural place is? Every state has a rual area ('cept Rhode Isand because its like 2 foot by 4 foot). Rural Maryland and Rural Georgia are very diffrent sounding.

That's disappointing, I may be picking that one up as time goes on.

You mean a Southern accent. That would be a regional to the South East US.
There is no such thing as "rural accent" in the US.

There are LOADS of rural areas in the U.S., in no way are the accents from these "rural areas" all the same. Each state has many accents within itself, but you are probably referring to the stereotypical southern accent (don't call it rural, it holds no value as far as referencing anything
).
