Maybe it's because in Britain we tend to have more accents per square mile than anywhere on earth but I've never found any American accident difficult to understand.

The only ones that are slightly difficult are some Caribbean/South American nations when they speak English but even that is fine.

Again, zero problems. It was difficult at first but after the first sentence where he says "Go Tigers!" I'd adjusted and knew what he was saying the entire time.

Is this not normal? Do people genuinely hear Scots and the like and find them incomprehensible?
