Different accents pose different levels of difficulty to different people, just like most things. Not sure if it was your intention but yur responses come across quite dismissively.

Dude, why do you assume other folks hear things the way you do? Great, you’re an accent genius. Not everyone has the same perfect audio processing circuits as you do and not everyone has heard all the accents you have. Instead of insisting they just “try harder”, just believe them and consider how fascinating the diversity of human experience is and how incredibly superior your own understanding is, but please keep it to yourself.

How about looking earlier in the thread where we both mentioned which part of the Island we're from.

We're simply comparing ability to distinguish other regional accents on the Island, not putting each other down. Generally folks here get to hear lots of different forms of spoken English.

Except Amazon's own subtitle group have issues understanding Gerald. To the point his subtitles are often just "????"

That’s a joke lol
