    As a Kiwi, I always find his accent just a little jarring - too close to sound like normal internet, too far to sound like everyone I know IRL.

    But he is getting much better at delivering content.

      Interesting! As an ESL speaker, I actually didn’t notice his accent at all. I always assumed he was an American lol

      He’s a kiwi? A had no idea. Mainly because I can understand him (English isn’t my first language and your accent is bloody hard).

            Can you tell a Canadian apart from a northern American?

            Basically the same amount of difference. (There is one)

              Sometimes yes, often not. But I can tell apart Brits, Oceanian, American, African and Indian most of the time. I have a hard time telling apart Scots and Irish, mainly because I can’t understand a thing they say at all.
