Which one of the dozens if not hundreds of regional and culturally originated dialects and accents do you mean?
actually more modern than that of the US because the US imported the UK one around the time of colonization
That’s not how it works.
Like the Spanish- French- and Portuguese-speaking parts of the Americas, American English may have developed from an earlier form of English, but It has since gone through its own parallel evolution, making it just as “modern” as British English.
The US one evolved as well, just preserved rhoticity which is a major feature. There’s no “UK accent” (nor “us accent”) either - West country accents for example are still rhotic
Sure but even that isn’t all encompassing. I’m from SoCal and my accent/dialect has so many archaicisms that I’m probably one of the only people under 50 with the damned thing. What I get for being around old people I guess.
Though I do suppress into something approaching the general accent when talking to others, mostly because for example Mountain Dew gets mangled into münten doo.
The UK should do a major spelling reform and troll the shit out of the U.S and their then “archaic” English.

That looks unironically great. Relatively easy to read and as far as I could tell, internally consistent. Two things current English spelling lacks.
I’ve worked on it as a personal writing system for probably like a year or so now

One major issue is that it’ll expose all regional differences in pronunciation in the spelling and now we’ll disagree about the spelling instead.
We already do though, one’s color is another’s colour and one’s spelled is another’s spelt
Those would be kuler and spelt in my dialect and writing system

Good thing, too, pirates would sound silly saying, “Ahhhhh, shivah me timbahs!”
There is an accent called General American (GenAm), however.

No, that is garbled nonsense based on the misunderstanding of a factoid.
UK is the worst, US makes sense at least to some degree.
Gloucestershire - pronounced glostershire Warwick - pronounced warrick And there like hundreds of these weird ones.
Place names are cheating. Almost all of them come from old/other languages that have very little resemblance to modern english.
