Dunno, a ton of UK born and raised people have accents so thick that I struggle to make out what they're saying.

I am from a Canadian maritime province. I have had Americans (particularly from the south) who at least claimed they couldn't easily understand me, despite me understanding them just fine.
I had a Newfie friend from a Newfie family growing up, all good no problem.

The Newfie barber they introduced me to I had to smile and nod because I couldn’t understand a word he said. And neither could they.

There are accents and then there’s accints.

Agree!

I play destiny in a clan, most of them are from UK. I don't understand a single word from some of them...

And i honestly don't think they would get hired for a call center job.
