People saying Missouri or Wisconsin are on crack.
Uh - ya it is. You don't understand that a good chunk of Americans' exposure to "Britain" is comprised of: the royals, James Bond, and movies like Pride and Prejudice. These aforementioned items are referred to as "the British royal family", "British agent", and "British movie/novel". Why would you be surprised that Americans associate "British" with refined speaking English. Wales and Northern Ireland probably don't even register for most Americans and Scotland is almost certainly viewed as a separate country.

For the record, the three words I've heard Fingercuffs say were pretty dern sexy :redface:
Now her posts are read in my head in her voice -it's very pleasant.
Scandinavian/European accents in general.
Not a fan of Latin-American accents.
In North America - I'm a sucker for Louisiana, haha! Had a thing with a girl from New Orleans who randomly was at my uni in Huddersfield, England!
Ahhh, didn't realise we were calling them all uneducated twits. The 70% rule is indeed true then.
It's not just "uneducated twits". Given the exposure most people have to "British" it's hardly surprising. England dominates the rest of Britain, I don't know why it would be surprising to you that people on another continent would generally associate British with English.
If the people calling apparent British accents British rather than Scottish, Scouse or whatever actually reconsidered, they'd not be lumping everyone into the same bag. Or they are indeed uneducated twits.
How Brooklyn, Long Island etc can be compared I have no idea.
English/Australian accents are hot until you are around one for a while. One of my old friends dated a girl from Australia and even the limited amount of time I was around her it just started to grate on me (and everyone else)
Russian/Eastern European accents for me are always pretty hot, And Southern accents of the right tone coming from the right girl as well.
on another note worst accent is asian chicks talking like little girls fucking shit ruins em imo
Scottish or Irish make me melt
latin...Penelope Cruz' accent is very nice. I find Sofia Vergara's pretty annoying though, as hot as she is.
I believe 'lol' is officially in the dictionary somewhere. Language evolves unfortunately and I'm sure there's a grey area on this one. Thanks for the pro-tip though, sincerely.
