The English beat us at English, says American:

21. They have a greater grasp of sarcasm, irony, self-deprecating humour and also, the entire English language.
22. They beat us at politeness and profanity at the same time.
23. The English accent is more attractive than the American accent.

The standard middle American accent one hears in Hollywood films is
easy on the ear, and a lot more attractive than some British accents
(Birmingham, Liverpool, Dundee spring to mind; even the local
(non-university) Oxford accent).

"easy on the ear" and attractive are different.
