    LOL, All the other nations have soft spoken, local anchors, but the news clip representing Americans are an obnoxious group on the Fox News Channel.

    Here, is a more fair representation for America:

    Chose Scottish but it's really a tossup between the English English and the Scottish English. Irish English follows slightly behind.

    Canadian English and American English sound almost identical.

    Actually Canadian does sound pretty nice, as in kind.

    But i think the nicest would be SW English farmer's accent.

    In terms of 'cool' though, i think Australians or South Africans have the coolest sounding english. North American sounds so generic to me because of hollywood, music, etc.
