    I have a Mancunian accent and when I was travelling in North America, everyone thought I was Scottish. Grr

    I have a Canadian accent. People always say I sound stereotypically Canadian, and I always say "eh" which doesn't help Facepalm

    I have a South Australian accent. I think the only difference really is the fact that we tend to pronounce the A's in a lot of words with the long A sound.

    I don't really think I have an accent but with the amount of slang words I use, it could almost sound like I do.

    This isn't really part of the question but I totally find southern accents pretty cool.

    I have a mild Yankee accent. Coffee So when I say words like coffee, off, sausage, etc. they come out with a sharp/heavy "aw." Also, my Dad's accent is thicker than mine and he has to say "three" as "tree" because he can't pronounce the "th" sound.

    I have a French accent, though it's not quite as heavy when I speak English versus when I speak proper French, then it's much heavier.

    I have an accent but people can't seem to place it because it changes depending on the word. I'm from the west coast and sometimes I have a Spanish accent, French, and British accent but it really depends on the words. It's really weird.

    I have a little Yankee in me. Orange = arange. I can easily pull off the "aw" in coffee, dog, call, etc because I'm from New Jersey Coffee I don't think I have a true accent. At least, my friends from different states have never said anything. I have a slight lisp + a tongue thrust so my words are just jumbled, but I don't have true specific accent. I think the only thing that separates me from people in NY is my slang XD

    I've got a stereotypically west-of-Scotland accent. Slightly softer than the Glaswegian accent, but still pretty harsh. We've got a lot of slang that goes along with the accent as well, like 'ken' for 'know' and I tend to pronounce 'aw' sound as 'ih' sounds (for instance, I almost always say 'whit' instead of what'). Apparently I don't sound as Scottish as people think I should though, which is amusing.

    Everyone on the planet has an accent if they can actually speak out loud.

    You know how most American newscasters sound? My accent is kind of like that, but with touches of southern twang to it since I'm from Missouri near St. Louis. It's boring.

    I don't think I have the Rhode Island accent; us Rhodies apparently don't like to pronounce our 'R's. (like car becomes "cah", chowder becomes "chowda") I do use some of the Rhode Island slang though...

    But I do speak fast, I am told. I guess speaking fast is a Northerner thing??? (So I have been told)

    I have the typical "Southern belle" accent which makes sense because I live in Texas. It's not too strong compared to other Texans with that drawl and twang on consonants. When I go out of state though nearly everyone I talk to immediately knows I'm from Texas. But maybe that's mostly because I use "y'all" a lot.

    I don't notice it but apparently others do, it goes off and on. I'm also really good at doing fake accents.

    Faintly Tidewater. That's where I live anyway. When I'm upset or intoxicate or otherwise out of control of myself it comes out pretty strong.

    My accent's mostly Southern (specifically from North Carolina, born and raised) with a bit of a New England/Boston accent mixed in. I slaughter grammar on a daily basis because of my southern roots (e.g., "Ya gon' do what now?") and I pronounce Crayon "crey'in", mountain "mou'en", etc, etc.

    Due to the mix, when I'm up north, no one shuts up about my "charming southern twang" or my "ignorant hick accent", but when I'm down south people find it hard to believe I'm a proper southerner because I talk like a Yank. It's frustrating as all get out.

    I don't think I have an accent that varies from the general North-Eastern American accent, but according to everyone in Ohio us Clevelanders have a very distinct accent.

    I don't have a very noticeable one but I tend to pronounce "w" as "v" even when I'm speaking English. I also tend to slur my Rs so "colour" becomes more like "colorhh".

    I've got a very weird sound. I've a pretty standard American accent (when speaking English), but it's mixed with a bit of southern (Louisiana) and French. I've grown up around all three accents and I just picked up on them all. It's quite odd and I don't tend to do them all at once now that I've learned how to fish at least one out.
