...Of course it's "unpopular"; what else is new, about my opinions?

As for accents I can't stand due to how incomprehensible they are...Chinese. I can barely understand what a Chinese-accented person's saying, which utterly sucked when I had one for a uni subject's lectures...I hate sounding "racist", but your English tends to be abysmal, China.
have you ever heard spaniards speak english?

My maternal family's from Argentina, and I can understand them just fine - sure, that's not Spain, but it is a Spanish-speaking country.
Mum and her two siblings (my aunt and uncle) do have better English than my grandparents, but I can still understand my grandma and grandpa.

I do not like the middle eastern(hebrew/arabic)accents, they always sound like they're clearing their throats.
If we are going that one then quick story time.

Earlier I posted examples of the scouse accent (that being those from Liverpool and some of the surrounding areas -- we will skip the Woollyback vs Liverpudlian debate today).
I used to live there for a while.
One day I am walking down the street and two ladies were speaking Arabic. They switched to English at one point and it was a pitch perfect almost piss take Liverpudlian accent. Surprised me and made me laugh somewhat.

My usual secondary story here. So a year or two after that I am in Amsterdam and end up in an Irish bar. A Dutch girl there worked behind the bar and had done for years. Seems she ended up with a similarly pitch perfect Irish accent.
