Yes yes - unique is always better. It's funny - you'd think with all the movies and stuff that would be so, but i know a lot of people who don't like to watch movies like 'Trainspotting' and 'Snatch' and such because they 'can't understand anybody' and it's boring.
Even slang words that have crossed over are lost on the rednecks around here for whom the world ends and begins at the city limits. Skeery, frustrating, and horrifying.
I spent most of my childhood - hell, my life - reading books by English or Scottish or Irish authors. Watching PBS and 'Masterpiece Theatre' and 'The Avengers' and things like that. And i used a dictionary when things were confusing.
Part of my childhood, and incomprehensible to most of my 'peers' here. Yerk.
