Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects

As an American, Scots are the most difficult to understand. Most Brits, Welsh and Irish are fine. Australians and New Zealanders, too. Canadians can be almost indistinguishable to me with the exception of a couple of words here and there.

southern Ontario Canadians don’t sound much different. the more east you go, the more Letterkenny you get. and then you get the Quebecois, which are unique in oh so many ways. and then you start getting to the true east coast stuff as you go farther and farther, and that’s not going to be confused for american

You’ve only heard the ones with the American accent then.

Even still I can’t understand your Boston or howdy talkers.
