Well, I spent a lot of time composing this poll and here it finally is.

If you were to choose what English accent you like most, which would you pick? I did not cover the non-native accents (except for the general Pidgin), so if you like any of those - choose Other and specify which one.

I also wrote where the accents are used mostly, I might have written something wrong - excuse me.

I think I was a little bit too detailed on this because I'm quite sure many people wouldn't distinguish, say, General American and Northern American, but hey - detailed is always better. Almost always. It may be too complicated and difficult for some people too - if you feel your head increasing in size from inside, stop reading and move on to other threads.

I personally choose Queen's.

I voted for General Australian English (Australia, urban), probably since i'm from Australia. I guess it sounds better than most other accents though.

Irish English

3/4 points to Being From Ireland, 1/4 points to the fact that i've never seen anyone in Ireland speaking like they had a metal rod down their throat

I like the British accent and I mostly write in British English, like "favourite" or "colours". Sometimes I mix it up with some American expressions, like "Wanna see some colours?", creating a new type of English.
