    As a Russian, I can say that the American pronunciation is easier for me to understand, despite the fact that we study British English in schools...

      He has such similar vibes from the guy who was on all the documentaries about being a predatory sperm donor and on doctor Phil and then just randomly TLC was like let’s just have him on 90 day fiancé one of the most popular shows in the nation and then just not bring up that he’s an incredibly controversial person and give him a platform to spread his lies. So he kind of grossed me out by association but not of any fault of his own

      I think it has to do with how we fully express some letters that British people don't. (i.e. Americans pronounce party (la teuf) as "Par-tee", while lots of British say "Pah-tee"). When you fully express all the sounds as they're written, it's easier for a foreigner to understand as they learn. Same reason why as a learner of French I have a better time of understanding French from France instead of whatever gobbledygook they speak in Quebec.

      We have our moments. Most usually good if not trying to make commuter connections during rush hour. Left side of escalators reserved for commuters. Common courtesy. Some missed connections could mean a wait of more than 10 minutes. Some commuter rail (the ones that look like real trains vice the Metro) have to share the track with CSX aka freight trains. So aside from the anxiety of that, we’re usually quite accommodating.

      But on the topic of Black slang, there are many words young white people use that they aren't even aware came from Black/African American culture. And it's not even a recent phenomenon. The speech of Southern white people, whether they like to admit it or not, is more influenced by that of Black culture. In South Louisiana where I'm from, in the language of Cajuns/Creoles, even more so.

    An American friend of mine once studied abroad in Birmingham. On her first day their she caught a bus into the city and, after walking around all day seeing the city, she was very fatigued as she waited at a bus stop to go back to her new flat/apartment. When an elderly gentleman approached and waited beside her, she felt obligated to say something friendly to him. She wanted to express her state of fatigue by saying how tired her rear was, but she felt the word "butt" was too crude so instead she used a more quaint American expression, turning to him and saying, "My fanny is SO sore!"

      I'm French, and tbh we don't really make the difference either. Some people who are more meticulous about geography and country name will care to precise Northern Ireland, but generally speaking the two are seen as the same thing?
      I don't really know how to explain it, it's a very special case. I think we mostly don't understand what's going on and why there's two half of a country, why there is the need to precise "hey I'm talking about the northerners", because it's just not something we learn.
      And from what we know of the countries, our opinion on Northern Ireland is pretty different from North Korea, which is another example of a country being split in two. We definitely do make the difference between north and south here. 😂
      But the two Irelands seem chill af, so we generally don't see the difference between them and use Ireland indifferently without realizing it may be offensive or incorrect, actually.

      I'm from Northern Ireland lol - it all started about 400 years ago or something when the English invaded Ireland. Now the two countries are divided. Protestant and Catholic views separate the two countries. Every 12th of July in Northern Ireland there's a huge celebration to celebrate King William of Orange or something - to celebrate his victory over the Catholics. I don't really care about it lol. Have you heard of Belfast before? Well, East & South Belfast are protestant and North & West belfast are catholic - so theres a bit of fighting. However, the one cool like about being Northern Irish is that we have 3 nationalities. I can choose whether to be British, Northern Irish or Irish and it will still be valid lol.

Side note, Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) is from up north and sang Coldplay's "Yellow" for a charity album. She has such a thick accent normally that people were joking it wasn't her singing because she should have sung, "... and it were all yellow..." Which is how I sing it when I hear it, now.
