It's interesting that the creator of the poll thinks that only England has regional accents, the rest are all national (except Texans who for some reason are differentiated from the "Americans" in the other 49 States.)

What's an American accent?  Over here we consider the British to have an accent in the English language, is it the same the other way around?

    Not that the accent itself is annoying, but what's up with the pseudo-southern "red neck" accent? It exists everywhere in the United States. You can speak like a network news anchor, and a person who grew up a mile away can sound like a Hillbilly.

You mean 'podishshcrê', for sure!!

For Gods sake, is it not enough for it to be just an accent... does it really need to be catchy too?

New York City accents - God they're annoying!

And Norwegians run a close second, especially when they're trying to speak English.

I think this is why England needs dividing up. Only Southerners sound like this

A lot of American accents I find irritating. French Canadian accents come in second.

But with a greater variety of regional accents and dialects than the USA, Canada and Australia put together. And as for being a snobbish butler with a stick crammed way up your arse - don't knock it til you'e tried it

The Brummie accent is the ugliest one I can think of. Speaking as a Liverpudlian, I am in total sympathy with anyone who hates professional Scousers - Cilla Black sets my teeth on edge, Jimmy Tarbuck is a good argument against the existence of that legendary Scouse wit and don't get me started on Stan Boardman....

I voted Dutch before I read it was about singing.

Dutch English is terrible, see this quote:

My music!
