Stupid french quebecer accent

Seriously I'm not that bad.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

i was born and raised in the south, but i've been told i have the accent of a northerner.

but i occasionally slip up and get southern though, haha.

 

[Swedishguy]

I've got an Eskilstunian accent. It's rated as the worst swedish accent EVER. And so I am socially unstable. Go figure.

I'm from the Northeast, but yes, I do pronounce the letter r.

In terms of the actual accent, it probably sounds like a more understandable Northeastern one.

My accent is Southern Californian. It's not too far off from the Midwestern standard, and some people may think of me as being "accentless", but tinges of "Surfer" are in my accent on occasion.

When it comes to my dialect, it is obviously Southern Californian - I regularly say awesome and dude. I travel on freeways and I call Interstate 5 "the five", Highway 101 "the one-oh-one" and State Route 1 "PCH" (short for Pacific Coast Highway).

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I refer to some freeways as "the" whatever", mostly the ones with lower numbers (like the 5 and the 10 in LA).

Agh! Freak!

Only at the end of "Florida", right?

 

[Technocactus]

British accent. I'm from the West Midlands, but I don't have a Brummie accent or anything.

Don't all Americans say "Arto" for "auto"?

Why do Britons pronounce "car" like "caw"?

Americans (men and women) "dig" accents other than an American accent.

Why do Britons pronounce "car" like "caw"?

I pronounce it "cahr".

 

[Irish Caesar]

The only dialect I can't mock at all is, surprisingly enough, the Boston one.

Ordinarily I speak it with a slight Georgia drawl, but I can revert to my Yankee speaking very quickly when speaking with Yankees. I do pronounce the letter "r". I have a touch of Midwestern in church, which is very odd; I spent three days, tops, in the Midwest ten years ago.

 

[Tomoyo]

Hmm.

I used to have a Brooklyn accent. (Caen't tawk now, cawl me lateh.)

Then it gradually went away.

Now, I'm not sure what my accent really is. It might even be standard American.

 

[StarWorms]

Why do Britons pronounce "car" like "caw"?

I've never heard that in my life... I've only ever heard it pronounced "carr".

I just have a normal accent and don't think it would be classed as anything other than a general english accent.

 

[azzaman333]

I assume that I speak Australian.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Canadian Raised English, with a bit of Chinook Jargon thrown in for good measure.

 

[raen]

American accent I guess, due to computers and movies.

But my basic english formation is in british one.

Maybe its a mix.

What's your English like? This is a question for both native and non native speakers, as I once knew a Japanese girl who learnt it with an american accent. (does it make a difference either way?)

Continental Europeans tend to speak with an american accent and I am not an exception. My English is a mix of Eastern European and American accents, though I am trying to get rid of both of them

Works the other way too I guess, I think girls with an American and Irish accent are really cute...
