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) |

According to some people my accent sounds like Elizabeth Hurley's >( And it's not true. |

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. | |||

Everybody has an accent. Mine's a cross between a fairly neutral western Canadian, and far southern Irish. | |||

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.

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. | |||

Originally posted by Slash Dafter Originally posted by Gb boy I know what you mean with the Maine accent, it's very similar to Canadian Maritimers. The accent is more distinct in Maine, however. |

Being the Rhode Islander that I am, I have none! Even though most RIers have stupid accents where they can't pronounce r's. "get in the kah. go Nomah! we traveled fah" | |||

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. | |||

Anya, don't Floridans <-(not sure if that's correct) have fairly strong southern accents? | |||

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". |
