    I live in England but a lot of my family live in Ireland so I talk like them. >.<
    I say my 'r's differently to most English people. They say 'ah', I say 'arr'
    But not like a pirate. xD

    And I'm not like a really posh Brit, I'm the complete opposite.
    I'm well common.
    So, all my friends say I sound like a Londoner/Cockney. xD

    I love Southern American accents, though. xD
    And the NY/NJ area accents.

    Oooh, and the really theatrical Italian-American mobster accents are awesome.
    Like, instead of saying 'Percy', they say 'Poicy'. xD
    Kind of...

    I guess I do have an accent, but it's quite ordinary.
    It's what you'd call a typical "American" accent, although I live in Canada.
    I don't say "eh" that often and I've never heard anyone say "aboooot."

    Sometimes I wish I had an English one. They sound so awesome.
    Or a New York one like Criss Angel. XD

    I was born and raised in Maryland, so people that aren't from here swear that I have an accent. I'd said 'pistol' a few years ago and one of my classmates was just fascinated with the way I said it for some reason.

    It surprised me though, because I took a quiz once that ended up telling you what kind of accent you had, and my result was a Southern one. Part of the explanation was that people with a Southern accent "are usually the ones denying it". XD According to one of my friends, I also drop letters off of words sometimes when I speak, so I guess I've got that typical "country" accent going on.

    I'm from West Virginia and I have this southerny accent. It's kind of embarrassing, because when I get upset or I yell my accent comes out. I have to watch my words when I talk and make sure I don't sound too hickish.

    I'm from California, I've always lived here, my parents are Mexican and as I was growing up I was learning English and Spanish at the same time, which was a great thing because I grew up being fluent in both languages. But in result I have like this strange accent when I say some words like:

    Cheese, Sandwich, Alien, War. Those are the main words like I emphasize a lot and the they come out hilarious and my best friend always teases me about it, and I got "Shut Up." but I say that with a horrible accent as well. :lmfao

    I'm Canadian, but I didn't think I had much of an accent until I was on the phone with one of my American friends and she starting giggling because of it. Apperently we say the word 'about' funny, which I think is utter nonsense.

    I'm from the United States, but I apparently sound trippy to people from the East Coast (I'm from the west coast). My friends from Australia laugh at the way I talk, too. I also have a speech impediment in which I cannot pronouce the "s", "z", and "r" sounds "correctly", so that must add to the supposed oddity of my voice. :think:

    Well, I'm English, but I'm not quite sure how describe my accent. I come from just outside London but theres not much regional accent really... I usually talk quite smartly, like my pronounciation of words and stuff. I suppose proper english, maybe?

    Apparently I have a slightly 'american' twang to my o's and random other letters. Like, sometimes when I say 'you know', the ow in know sounds quite long instead of clipped... Like The Rev from a7x? XD [/bad at explaining things]

    My tour guide for Longwood Gardens was from Massachusetts and she had a Canadian accent; every time she said home or about we thought it was the coolest thing and asked her to say it again- we're lame as hell.

    I go down south a lot, so I kind of have a little bit of a Southern accent. I live in Illinois. People make fun of me for it. D:

    It's better to call it Received Pronunciation (or 'BBC English')
    There's no such thing as 'proper English' (:

    I guess I have an American accent. I don't really know if I have a New England accent because I pronounce my r's since Connecticut isn't that deep into New England. I haven't been outside of here long enough to see so I don't really know.

    I have a very, very, strong Northen Irish accent. Even people from Northern Ireland can't understand me half the time. I have a different accent from my family though. In NI almost every town has a different accent and I moved around a lot as a kid so they've all built up into one super Northern Ireland accent.

    The worst thing I do is over pronounce my 'r's. As in 'showerrrrrrs'. Yeah. I hate hearing myself recorded.

    It's funny to think about Mibbians having accents. :tehe:

    Everyone has an accent to be honest. My friends deny that though and make fun of me because I have an Asian accent. Maybe it's because I am Asian? O.o
