So - have you been told that you have an accent?

Or just your local area doesn't realize it. The more you move around the state, the accents and lingo will differ.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think I was only told one time that I had an accent, and it wasn't very noticable anyway. I've been in Baltimore all of my life, so if I did have one, it would be from there. Of course, I'm not even sure what a Baltimorean accent sounds like, so.. ^^;


I, like quite a few other females, like accents on guys. Especially British and German. ;_;

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Speaking of accents, take this test:

http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_america...nt_do_you_have

My results were Philly. No surprise there.

I was speaking idiomatically.

According to that quiz, I sound like I'm from 'The Inland North': You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop".

Yet I don't call soda 'pop', nor have I ever been asked if I'm from Wisconsin or Chigaco. The Northeast was the very close second in the quiz though. And when I messed around with my answers to see what the description for the Northeast accent was, it was the same exact description! 'Pop'... bah!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I got have a midland accent... In other words, "I don't have one".

FELIPE NO

It seems a lot of people pronounce mary, marry, and merry the same way. Most Philadelphians don't, but I find it very annoying when people do. Just a accent pet peeve of mine.

How ya doing, buddy?

I have a midland accent, it says.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Midland accent as well. "The West" in a close second. Suppose that's close enough, being raised in Nevada and California.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I really don't leave long island that much, so we all talk teh same here, but I'm sure if I went anywhere else people would comment on how i say water or talk or lawng ilind

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've been told, more than once, by random passers-by, that I have a British accent. I have some holdovers from my education in Malaysia, but really, I sound more like a mix between Chinese and American more than anything else.

I have a thick newfie accent. Talking to people here at home you don't think about it and can't seem to notice any accents, however when I go to the mainland, eveyone knows where I came from, and if listen to myself talk with other people there, I can hear a big difference from my accent and theirs.

How ya doing, buddy?

I can certainly tell where you comes from.

Now, whenever I read one of your posts, I will hear that voice in the back of my head.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

the quiz says i have a midland accent. i've lived in the NE my whole life, near CT so maybe thats why i have "no accent" ?

FELIPE NO

I've been told that I don't sound southern, and that's good enough for me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I've been told more than once in the past by other Aussie'zzz that I have a slight American-ish accent thing goin' on. I DON'T HEAR IT. I think it's because I don't say 'struth' enough. I'm going to put it in every sentence from now on! Watch the struth out, motherstruthers!

How ya doing, buddy?

I am from Kansas originally (no accents whatsoever there). When I lived in NYC, people with very thick Brooklyn accents would try to tell me that i had a southern drawl.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Despite the fact I've lived in the same area all my life, locals come up to me all the time and ask me where my accents from >< I've been told it sounds American, Australian, Irish, Scottish and South African...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Even though i don't hear it, apperently i have a very southern accent (for England). I'm mainly told by the Welsh and Americans. If your English you may know what i mean by a Portsmouth accent, if not nvm.

Portsmouth accents are too common to be counted as a true Southern accent dahmit! :P

I was speaking idiomatically.

pffft i don't think you can get more southern without falling off the country franposis

maybe so, but southern accents are traditionally a bit more... well spoken?
most areas of the south have been filled by Londoners though so the accent's somewhat disappearing. Probably explains why people don't believe mine is local though, what with me having a nice posh accent...

That's true, I think allot of people try and sound like they're from London. For "street cred" -roles eyes- Personally i don't get it.

Even though I don't hear it, I apparently have a rather strong California accent. I was in Virgina and everyone thought I was a "Valley Girl".

Ohmigod, the horror.

How ya doing, buddy?

I've been told I have a Yorkshire accent, which isn't out of place seeing as I am from Yorkshire. But I don't think it's that distinct like a Brummies accent or a scousers accent.

No one has said I had an accent now other then stating the fact that I speak through my nose. A habit that I inherited from my dad. However when I was little, maybe 2 or 3, I was told I had a British accent most likely do to my dad being half. But somewhere along the way I lost it....
