Unpopular opinion: American english is way better than British.

For me english is my second language and I like how Americans speak with clear diction.

British mumbling and thing we call “speaking with a hot potato in mouth” is sometimes so hard to grasp for me that I never grew fond of it.

Yet most schools are teaching british english here in Czechia and there is a clear obssesion with it.

I just don’t get it.

From what I understand modern American English is closer to how people spoke 200 years ago.

I believe the "posh" accent (losing R's for example) originated in England and spread to some of the US East Coast (which had heavy trade with England) but not the rest of North America.
