Default No one talking

I was in a room playing away quite content , but as soon as i asked did every one like the new update in a scottish accent, no one answered. I thought the americans were bad at understanding my accent, but at least they talk to you. When i am playing i like to have some fun and make new friends, i guess there a few people who maybe don't like talking, or perhaps when they hear another accent, they just keep talking to their friends and say nothing, because they may not understand my scottish accent, and think that i am talking to fast !!!.

Some Americans dont even know what scotland is!

there was an american once on the radio who said "will i be able to see the eiffel tower out of my london hotel?"

anyway yeah they probably just dont understand anything that is "non-american" like your accent for instance

NOTE: i hope i havnt offended anyone with this post

Alot of Americans tend to have some difficulty with "faster" languages. Being Australian, we usually talk pretty fast and use alot of slang. (We can also have a full conversation with only swear words )
The American people I go online with know how I talk because they've gotten used to it, but they do get confused occasionally.

If anything, I'd say it's the Accent. I do have a bit of trouble with understanding Scottish people some times, but that's just me.
