    I just think they're too fun to imitate. Whenever I meet someone who's good at speaking English with British accents, I make them do it, just for pleasure. And listening to my neighbors speak is really wonderful. I am myself aspiring to regain my British accent, the one I spoke with before I moved to America... well that and bit of a French accent mixed in too. Anyway, yeah. So, American accents are great too, well, in the mouth of a guy, really. Except southern accents I don't really like... But I once described the way American guys speak as incredibly sexual because it somehow sounds like they're so good with their tongue, when they speak, to me. It makes me feel all... I don't know... in my body everytime I concentrate on the way the words flow out instead what they're actually saying :) I don't know why people are all about "romance" languages like Italian ect. those actually repulse me for some reason, I find them aggressive. And French, well... it's unlike any other language, except we pronounce the "r"'s and "u"'s like in German... but to me it's my first language so it's really blah. But English... it flows and has so many adjectives and is the perfect language to express feelings... I am better at expressing feelings in English hence I do all my writing in English...

    lol I wasn't making fun of them, I actually love hearing that accent! And I meant... I don't ask actual British people to speak for me, I mean others like Americans who are good at immitating it... for a moment... it's always fun! So elegant :)

    I've always liked the British accent.

    I actually used to use a lot of British slang because I traveled with a lot of British people and liked their English much more than Americans'.

    "Wanker" and "bloody" are two of the best words in the English language.

    :D

    I throw around bloody a lot. Makes me feel cultured. Heh.

    I love British accents a lot too. My accent seems so indistinct. I've gotta little Texas going, but not much. People from here ask me where I'm from all the time.

    would a texas accent be just intensely southern?

    theres no shortage of southern drawls around here.

    i've always been told i have no accent whatsoever, something i'm very thankful for.

    Quebec (well French Canadians) I loved talking to the women up there, was awesome! English (Queens) does little for me.

    It's got a little bit of a drawl, yeah.

    And I relate everything to wide open praries and make a lot of rodeo metaphors. ;)

    I wish people said "mate" instead of "dude".

    And "bloody" sounds so much cooler than "damn" or "fucking".

    I really like Canadian accents too! Not Quebec accents though... well... yes, but, because I find them funny, really... but that's because being French, they sounds very different to me than they would to a native English speaker.

    I always parody the proper upper class British accent

    I used to date a girl from Staffordshire and she had the nicest accent, very sweet...meanwhile a friend of mine was dating a girl from somewhere in London, and I kid you not, she had the worst accent I have ever heard
