American english and British english make a very BIG difference, in terms of spelling, accent and pronunciation.
For example, I bet everyone know this, "chicken", we read chic-ken.
In fact, British english reads it  chic-kin. (look up on your dictionary as prove)

Back to topic, I like American english more.
British accent sounds rather weird to me, like those "chic-kin" and "chic-ken" things.

I agree with u
British pronunciation is really weird...they pronounce "DAY" like "DIE"...
"Actually" they pronounce like "ARK tually"

I attended a scholarship interview, one of the interviewer was an English,
He nearly made me going mad when he asked me questions.
I gotta take few seconds to interpret every words he said.
A terribly horrible experience.

I am more into American english.
