| Anyone speak different? My accent has changed to a normal American accent over the years as I learned English more. I used to have an asian accent from day 1 to age 7. It was really hard to pronounce "Rs" "Js" and "Ls" correctly. (edited by The_Raven on 07-19-04 04:55 PM) |

Uhh... not really. I just pronounce some words differently than other people. Then I get the "what you say" look  . |

| I think I'm slowly acquiring a D4 accent, which would be the upperclass Dublin accent. It's not too strong though, I'd go with the "I have no accent" option probably. | |||

| I don't have to much of an accent, but I am Canadian, so I tend to say "eh" lot. Also I'm sort of developing a Central Nova Scotia accent, because I am there a lot. (edited by Gb boy on 07-19-04 05:48 PM) |

As I'm from Connecticut, we don't have an accent. Although at least TV anchors are told to model themselves after us, accent-wise.  |

| American Southwest. That's the accent most movie stars use. I do however sometimes say "falla" for "follow" and "barra" for "borrow", but those are the only exceptions. | |||

| I spent a year in Texas, thus my accent is kind of southern. Of course, I don't have an extreme southern drawl, since that probably takes a lifetime to acquire. It is hard to tell from my accent that I'm actually a non-native speaker (I've fooled quite a few people), but there are still some giveaways. As for my native language, Norwegian. People in my county, |

You should hear how some of us Mainers talk. Instead of the word "barn" it's "baaaa'n" and "lobster" is "lobstah". I don't talk like that. I kind off have a British accent on occasion especially around girls. |

| I don't exactly have an accent... but I have to admit, it's kinda hard to speak properly when you want to talk so fast because of all of the sugar... So I kinda slur words most of the time... I'm just a hyper-person-on... And guess what? If I stay up too long passed midnight, I'll start laughing at everything I see. Weird, yes? _SuriBear_ |

I'm from the Midwest, where the English is the purest ever. Only the occasional extra preposition ("Where's your house at?"). Aside from that, I don't think I have any irregularities in my speech.Originally posted by SilveyWhat's wrong with Elizabeth Hurley's accent? (edited by NSNick on 07-19-04 08:15 PM) |

Nope, no accent here. I may look mexican but I sure don't sound like it  . Well I can't really tell if I have any kind of accent. I sometimes don't prounounce my words properly though. I get lazy |

| None. Well, of course the "normal" american accent. I've talked to my friend over in AUS before, and she said that I do have an accent, which would make sense since it was the first time that we had talked on the phone with each other. | |||

You'd be surprised, actually. I haven't met a South Floridan with a southern accent. It's really odd.  It's more of a spanish accent, really (which I tend to have if I really want to) if anything.I've heard people from the south states with a thick accent and I say, "yea, they're from up north". |
