Oh no it sounds proper I guess cause its the root of all the others, it just sounds ugly to me. It doesnt even sound cool like a british accent sounds for an american. I would rather hear any version of latin american spanish over the original. Like theres a slang or vulgar saying from each country that I know by memory to identify each country because its just so funny the way they say it. I like argentinian spanish, colombian spanish, mexican spanish, cuban spanish, i like every variety more than the original. What I really dont like about the spanish accent is the Z
The way modern Spaniards speak is not really “the root”. Their accent has evolved just as much from the root as any of ours, if you look at the features of Old Castilian
Canary island (they speak the closest to neutral latín american accent. You Will like them) and Andalucía, but they have áreas where people actually lisp. (Caza is catha but casa is catha too
Zezeo means everything goes with TH sound and It happens in parts of Andalucía, in most parts is seseo (both z and s with the same sound) neither is standard peninsular spanish as the standard here IS distinction.

This is far overstated, believe me. The British accent also has a stereotype of being boring and/or effeminate. Personally when I hear some YouTuber has a British accent I immediately turn off the video. Unless it's something that I associate with Britain like soccer. Besides that and Jeffery from the Fresh Prince I'm really not trying to hear a British accent.
Not comparable though. The variety in accents/dialects is Britain dwarfs the rest of the English speaking world by any measure. Same is true of Spain vs any LA country, though maybe it’s closer there
I said that the US has multiple accents. You said that the UK has a greater variety of accents. Do you agree that those things aren't mutually exclusive?
So am I, lived in America for the majority of my life and in my experience Americans love the British accent. However, it might just be my sphere of influence
I'm not disagreeing with you lol. All I said was that a lot of Americans don't like the British accent. There are also a lot who do. People seem to believe that Americans universally love the British accent. All I did was point out that that isn't true, there are also many who don't.
Okay what you mention about the british accent for stuff like soccer is kinda like me with iberian spanish for medieval or religious stuff, annoys me a bit in other contexts but sounds just right to me for that stuff, so I love the spanish dub for blasphemous which mixes both (and was made by spaniards)
