What did you watch as a kid?

These beings only dislike the British english. Not the Australian. Nor American or Canadian or the other regional English forms. Particularly the form of english with unnatural excess of the letter "u" and similar.

Much of the dislike stems from the senselessly complex spelling system (complex spelling without benefit, mind you. No complaint over having a decent level of spelling control.)
The core of the dislike comes from the typical Norwegian English teachers. They try forcing the most despicable and formal form of British English on all students, while never being particularly good at getting pronunciation right. All they do get is the words and the accent.
But then, the style is fairly common in all Norwegian foreign language teachings. They try teaching students to speak and write languages fluently, stressing complex grammar, rather than teaching them how to be able to get around in the countries those languages are spoken.
If these beings should pick an interesting form of English, it would be Texan English. Nigh on impossible to understand when spoken properly, but still interesting.

These beings have not seen "coronation street" so they do not know how that is spoken.
By the way, nice to see an argument again.
