What is the matter with Canadians not being able to tell the difference between a British, Australian and New Zealand accent? Really ticks me off. Learn to hear the difference.

I can tell the difference between British/Aussie (it's pretty blatant...), but not Aussie/Kiwi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2gii...rom=PL&index=7 | |

English = easy to tell
Aussie = very similar to the NZ accent, yet much more of a "nasal" sound
NZ = what the other two aren't, and a bit of a softer accent then the Aussies
That's about the best I can describe it.

At least for us Asians we can tell between English and French and Spanish and etc. A white dude probably can't tell the difference between Mandarin, Korean and Japanese!

Why would this be surprising, how often would anyone here talk to anyone with one of these accents?

You guys arguing about brit vs. Aussie??
The only accent I have trouble recognizing is India vs. pretty much anything middle east... their English just have this weird accent.....

Now have any of you met a person that's Aussie that lived in UK or visa versa? 'cause it's fucked! Can't even tell which is which!
I have a friend from Perth who lived in London for 3 years and another friend from Manchester that lived in Melborne for 5 years. Really wacked accents.
