English

what is the benefit with speak british english instead of american english?

American English-Made simple for simple people (Americans)

since you're in the western hemisphere probably not. I think British English is spoken by more people than American when you take India etc into account, but honestly they're the same language.

English is the simplest language as it is

American English is pretty much the same as British English, the main difference being some weird spelling differences (color/colour) and word choice (fries/chips). But speaking/writing one means you can easily understand the other.

You get more respect, and people generally think you're slightly more intelligent.

Like Louis Theroux.

There's not a ton of differences between the two anymore. The 21st century is seeing the two rapidly converge thanks to the internet and mass media. A lot of American terms are entering the British lexicon and a lot of British terms are entering the American lexicon.

True English pros should be comfortable with both.

k

implying a non native english speaker would be able to speak with any native accent

also you are implying that there are any significant differences between the dialects
