I still claim to talk normal and insist it's all you that have the accent.

No doubt about it.

if I could hear you I would tell you if its true

but really just compare with when singers, they usually dont have accent when they sings (some do tho)
 
My favorites (in no particular order) are...

  • New Zealand
  • Ontario and British Columbia (tie)
  • New York
  • Australia
  • Chicago
  • Boston

After being married to a frenchman with an almost unintelligible accent, I am totally turned off to them. People with accents are just as likely to be assholes than anyone else. Picture that dude with a sexy accent without the accent...and he is suddenly just another asshole.

I can do a french accent. :nana:
 
My accent is not as strong as it once used to be, but I still get a little tired of getting asked where I'm from.

On the other hand it's kinda funny when less travelled or down right geography challenged people think that Denmark is not a country, but a small town in Wisconsin.

The list was in no particular order...but I adore the NZ accent. I'm one of the few Americans (that I know, anyway) who can actually discern the difference between Australian and New Zealand accents.

Your long-distance bill must be outrageous!

Dialects usually deal with syntax, and accents with variation in pronunciation.

[Dialects are those differences in pronunciation of a language between speakers whose primary language is that same language. (i.e. Southern U.S. and London Cockney are dialects of English, but both are still English)

Accents are the differences in pronunciation of a language spoken by someone whose primary language is not that language. (i.e. an Italian speaker pronouncing Japanese in the way that only a native Italian speaker would.)
 
people have told me i have a little accent, but i dont hear it. i was born in europe and raised in canada

Ladies and Gents... do you find yourself attracted to people with different accents from your own? Not necessarily head-over-heels-attracted, just intrigued, maybe. Any weaknesses for a particular one?

I guess a fair question would be to those who might be considered to have a strong accent, do you get tired of being recognized for it?

I'm a sucker for accents.. It doesn't really matter where from, just those different from my own.
 
Posh English totty or American south like the blonde in CSI Miami.


Fucking Hate Scouse accents on women.

A-bleedin-men! I still have nightmares, nightmares I tell you, of Scouse women yelling in the streets. *shudder* Living on the Wirral has scarred me for life, you know.


And we need an audio thread -I'm sure it's been done before but we need one and need one like, now.
 
I love Italian accents........but then again I LOVE Italian men. They are so sexy.

Now, why oh why isn't my Jersey accent a turn on for anyone?
 
In no particular order

Russian accents- one in particular that used to just tingle me the exact right way. 'Course it could have been the beautiful Russian man attached to it as well but we'll say it was the accent.

Australian accents- Aussies can get me wet faster then anything!

Irish accents-*droooollllllllll* :p I love Welsh accents too, but all the Welshmen I know are mad as hatters...lol!

French Canadian accents- but I think that has alot to do with a certain hockey player and maybe I wouldn't like it on everyone...lol!

English accents have never done anything for me to tell the truth, but then again I was born there and lived there til I was 8 so to me it's never seemed that exotic an accent. Point of fact I had one myself til I was nearly 16 by which time it had quite faded away. The funny thing is I can still speak with one- and did in far to many HS theatre productions- and guys go nuts for it every time. Go figure...different strokes right? ;)
