Typo.. I rarely ever type the word accent, causing me to type accident.
Accidents make great first impressions though; If they like you they'll help you up, if they don't, they'll ask you if you're okay. (Assuming you fell down or something)

I don't think I have an accent, but when I first moved here (Ohio) from the south everyone said I did, although I never noticed it. Here there is an accent, I noted though not very obvious as well. It's funny though because now whenever I do go back down south to visit family or for vacation I switch, so I notice the difference in the accents of north and south. I tend to talk that way for a while afterward too. I agree with you Princess, I find all of those accents sexy plus Irish, Japanese and German. In general, I find all accents sexy, those mentioned before are just some of my favourites.
Madyy said:I have a really bad southern accent, but not as bad as some of my friends. I can't really tell unless I hear myself on a recording or something, but some words I can tell.
Ditto. The first time I heard myself on tape, I was sooo embarrassed. I couldn't believe I sounded like that. (move over Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn.....
I don't know what you're talking a-boot. I don't have a Canadian accent, eh?..
In all seriousness, everyone has an accent depending on where you're from you just don't notice until you go anywhere else.
I personally love British accents!

Contrary to what you might think, as a californian, I dont end every sentence with 'dude' and say everything is 'gnarly'
I used to live with an english person (my friends mom, i rented a room from her).. I caught on to her brittish slang soon enough.. However I dont think their accents are cool.

This is confusing, so close your eyes for the next few lines:
Americans say I have a British accent.
Brits say I have an Australian accent with a bit of a 'British tone.'
Finns say I sound like a dipshit. Which is fair enough.
Australians say I sound American, more specifically, like a valley girl.
One day when I can be bothered I'll record myself and you can be the judge.
I love UK accents. Cockney English is so gorgeous. My best friend is a Brit and he likes to talk, we make a good combination. Welsh accents are hard to understand but they sound really musical.

Well i have the posh side of the British accent (probably just under James Bond), because i come from the south which have the poshest accents. Not keen on the cockney or geordie accents. I can do an Irish accent pretty well apparently. I love the Australian accents.
One time, I went to North Carolina with my school (Beta national convention for those of you who care). We went to a water park, and the guys at the stand where we got our food and drink were getting us to say Sprite and I could really tell how bad of an accent I have.
