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

I love accents, I'm not sure exactly what draws me to them, but I love them. I find them interesting and they can get me into a philosophical spiral. I find it rather amusing when people who have not had the experience to notice the differences in accents which may sound similiar try and guess where someone is originally from.

I've been told I have an accent by many people; from family and friends to aquaitances and complete strangers. My uncle described it as: "an Oregonian slur with a slight Irish undertone," whatever the Hell that means.

I usually don't pay much attention when people tell me I have an accent. I just let it slide past with little to no regard.

EDIT: I figured it out, last minute. I speak relatively quickly to most people, though in my area, its relatively normal. I'm not sure where people get the "Irish undertone," but I did notice the possiblity when I asked for a drink... "Drink" would definitely be one of those words. I should look into it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
