Indian upper class english unironically sounds pretty refined. I'm not talking about the run-of-the-mill pajeets, but the upper class ones who sound really neutral and classy somehow. Not sure quite how to explain it. But you run into some of them on occasion.

British English is better, no question.
Replacing old handmedown terms and oversimplifying spellings makes the language easier for children, but less interesting.
I'd bet British English will have disappeared in 50 years though

bong spelling feels more similar to how english sounds for me as an ESL.
It really irritates me when languages don't sound like the way they are written.
But the english accent filters me hard desu. I know it changes between the different areas of England, and I think the manchester accent is the hardest to understand, based on the fact that Liam Gallagher is from there; when he sings its fine but I can't understand anything that man says when he speaks.
