| I think this poll more likely reflects the different percentage of people taking part because it is more likely that each person will vote for his/her own nationality. :-)

| Cyndi may be right, but as an American I have to say I find the Canadian accent with its clipped, crisp pronunciation very standard and easy to understand. British English is so varied, it's hard to put it into one category when RP or BBC English is really just a posh variety and not that widely spoken. Similar with US English and its various regional accents. Outside of Newfoundland, I find Canadian quite uniform across the rest of that country.
