    I was once told at Ogunquit by a guy that i had a ''Boston Accent '' that's weird cos the only person i know who comes from that area is my grandmother and i don't talk in english that much with her ....

    Anyway, that's weird. I realized that i didn't pronounce my ''r'' enough when i read in english :D

    I have a terrible southern accent, George. It's way worse than them Virginians. I get made fun of all the time. :D

    Ahaha... Kentucky.

    Not only that, I suppose yall have more of the mountain/west virginny pinched nose influence. I just have a really bad non-rhotic drawl.

    Ahaha. We Kentuckians definitely have a weird accent. I don't know if it's pinched nose-y. I don't think it is....but I also don't think my accent is terrible until someone points it out. My ma told me I have the most Kentucky accent possible (She was born and raised in New Yawk....so she's a fast talker with a Kentucky slang since she's lived here 19 years.). I talk slow and definitely have a drawl, though. Lol.

    Antoinator... I lurv your sig pic!


    I'd choose a soft Irish accent... as though I'd spent the last couple years in Canada to mellow it out, but still keep all the nice lilting parts of it *purr*

    Pick up on the Zimbabwean influences in my accent and make them more pronounced...

    Even though people always say how "beautiful" my accent is :p

    I'd love to have a soft Irish accent, it's so beautiful. But I guess mine is alright.. at least it's pretty unique over here. :p

    The worst English accent I think is the northern one.. like how people speak in Manchester and around that area. :eek: I honestly can't understand that at all. :(
