dialect, anyone?
every region has a dialect…no region is excepted.

Well, I would say that these differences are more pronounced to people with more exposure to them. As with New York vs. Texas, people who have lived in Britain or been exposed the various accents on a regular basis will know that there is a distinct difference between London and say, Liverpool or Bristol.

Personally, I get chirped all the time for having a distinct Vancouver accent, so I guess the same rule can even apply to Canada.

Well British people generally have “that” accent that most people recognize and seem to like. But Americans have the New Yorker accent (I realize there’s variety within this category too, but let’s say it’s homogeneous) vs Texan accent, for example, and one of the two is awful while the other is tolerable. The differences are easier to pick up, for people raised here at least. You’re right though, UK people in general have similar accents with regional variance.

There’s no such thing as a British Accent by that definition either – even different areas of the same city can have different accents.

There is no one American accent. But that doesn’t mean someone can’t have an American accent.

“Nuke-ular”

lol funny cause there’s no such thing as American accent. It’s a nice big country with lots of variety, including in accents.
