Americans have trouble with any accent that isn't the blandest, nails on chalkboard accent.
Once had one ask me if I was speaking English when I spoke to him (for context I am Irish, the north bit)
Lol yeah, it's just the Americans that don't understand you. Sure...
You'll probably hear more and more varied accents in an average US city than in all of Ireland.
Bland and nails on chalkboard? That's like the opposite of bland. Not great, but definitely not bland. Bland is blunt and flat. Nails on chalkboard is shrill, sharp, and grating. I just don't understand how you can believe both at the same time.
