Do you consider American English as a vulgar version of English?

Not really. There are a few specific American accents that I dislike, but for the most part I like American English and I actually find a select few dialects outright pleasing to listen to.

Do you like the accent of Canada and the southern United States?

By British English I suppose you mean the Queen's English combined with the received pronunciation? Because there also other dialects e.g. Cockney and Scouse etc...However, yes, I find American English as a vulgar English compared to the Queen's English (combined with the received pronunciation). I feel like after America broke away from Britain that the British heightened the sound of their English to sound even snobbier because the British are one of the snobbiest groups on the planet--hence, it is only natural that British English sounds classier at this point.

At the risk of exposing myself as an uncultured swine, I'll go out on a limb here and admit that Canadian and (standard, i.e. non-regional) American accents are virtually indistinguishable to me, so I suppose I also like the Canadian accent, yes. I like most southern US accents, although ones that have an excessive twang to them are my least favourite accents (on par with Valley Girl accents on a scale of abhorrence) as they remind me of rednecks. I've never had much extended contact with people from the south of the US, but most accents I heard whilst visiting Texas were generally rather pleasant.

The British accent sounds better, except for California English, which is best of all.

When I refer to British English I mean English from England especially London, I understand that English from Scotland, Wales, Ireland and other parts of England sounds different, but the most famous British English is from London.

I always believed that the reason why American English sounds different was because American settlers wanted to differentiate themselves from British people, not the other way around.

So Canadian English would be neutral English? Interesting.
