English?
Ever heard the saying "two countries divided by a common language"? It is true. There are so many little differences between English and "American". We call the hood of a car the bonnet, the trunk is the boot. We call silverware cuttlery, a man is a bloke and he wants a jug of beer. It is amazing that we can even understand each other. The English dilect changes much more arround the small country. Listening to someones accent you can tell exactly where they are from.

I have noticed that recently in America there have been quite a few commercials narrated by English people. Maybe the English accent sounds more convincing?
