Does anybody else find it weird that whenever you have a voice over, be it satnav, Bluetooth speakers, promotional videos (of European companies!), etc. they almost always have American accents? Even before the whole buy European movement took off I found this weird, especially since British or Irish accents are way nicer to listen to in my opinion.

I have the opposite "problem" but I don't care. Ask yourself what this is rooted in that this bothers you. Are American voices impure or something?

    I generally prefer American English, but for me British English is easier to understand. a) itโ€™s the first English we learn due to being close by and a near holiday location b) BBC stuff sounds more standardized than what I see in American shows so far.
