What do americans think of the British accent?

[Anonymous]

Do they find it funny? Find it attractive?

Which one? Most Americans know that there are (or at least realize that there should be) several accents in the area; we don't expect to hear "he's a bloody sod" in received pronunciation any more than we expect to hear nasal New York diatribes in the flat Midwestern accent all our movie stars use.

I'm talking the standard London accent
The one most are used to hearing

I like it and tend to use it a lot myself. I like the slang and the usage of words that we never thought of but a couple things bug me about it. Instead of saying Zee, you change it to a person's name, Zed. Instead of saying, H (Aych), all of a sudden, you have to say, Haych. And, instead of, 'school" or, "schedule", you say, "Shool" or, "Shedule" (your shed is dueling?) and I don't understand why you say things like "hospital" or "library" instead of "the hospital/library" but you talk about "the car/bus/garage", etc. instead of just "car/bus/garage".

It's a curse. A curse we americans do to mock... well actually it's a curse for me. I think it makes the British sound either smarter than us... or can't understand a thing they're saying.

That's the benefit of my English accent. Sounding more intelligent than an American.

Depends on which one since there are many. Some sound sophisticated and charming, but listening to some others is a lot like nails on a chalkboard.

[RainBat]

Not American, but I've heard a lot, they range from cute to silly to cool to attractive, really no one thing.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I like a woman with a British accent sounds sexy.

[sassy_receptor]

depends. sometimes funny and sometimes charming.
