| optimusprimate User ID: 23960943 United Kingdom10/13/2012 06:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't like my own accent, cos it seems too 'common' when compared to the American posh accents. Quoting: Shoot straight Johnny I live not far from Manchester, and I sound like that English woman on Frasier, and I always think she sounds out of place and 'lower class', and very 'contrived' whenever she tries to 'talk posh'. Don't worry about having an accent mate, I've had FOUR different accents in my life, welsh valleys, Lancastrian, cardiffian, midlands and now some weird hybrid of the last two with a bit of a northern twang....I'm not even 35 yet! I wish one would 'stick'... :p Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? ~Epicurus 33 A.D I am being held down by four greys as i type this ~ Florence 2015 A.D |

| wisc_natureboy User ID: 25505105 United States10/13/2012 06:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why all the hate on this thread? I typically dig all accents. If I encounter an accent I am; either traveling, talking to a traveler, or a migrant. Every migrant and every traveler that I have taken the time to get to know at least a little bit has a pretty interesting story. I suppose if I had to work with someone who was hard to understand it would get under my skin. We all breathe the same air. .-.. --- ...- . / .- .-.. .-.. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11826598 LOL Ya. Those are the worst. Apart from southern California, I'm not sure there's a real "accent" west of the Rockies. Part of the reason is because so many people who live out west weren't born there. Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25394734 I live in Midwest and the accent here sounds pretty sweet. Minnesotan accent is the best of all. Sucks unless you are in true blood. Minnesotan accent sounds like a rhyming poem. You feel like listening to a song. I love the Scandinavians. LOL yes. Norwegians talk in that "sing-songy" lilt.

| Billy_Sastard User ID: 25487141 United States10/13/2012 08:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I grew up on the west coast of the USA, and I find Irish accents, especially heavy accents, near unintelligible, however I can understand the deepest Scottish brogue with no problem. My brother and I think that it is because we have heavy Scottish roots on both branches of our family tree, and there are some thing about bein Scottish that are hardwired in the genes... It is, to me, sad how fast people forget the FOUNDATIONS of our fine country! This country was built by an armed population capable of fending for themselves, and will be lost by couches full of potato-sheeple riding their 52" HD-LEDTV's into the orwellian sunset. :( :abomb::abomb::abomb: BRING ON THE DOOM!!! |

| BoxerLvr User ID: 869975  Puerto Rico10/13/2012 09:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gawd, I hate these fake Hollywood southern accents. No one talks like that in the South. I'm from Louisiana, and have NEVER heard anyone talk like that. It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage. — Isaac Asimov |
