Do you speak with an accent?

[cookiecutter]

I'm a Canadian, and it might be just me, but I don't speak in any accent that I can make out.

Canadians definitely have an accent compared to generic American. It varies on how strongly, but everyone from Ontario that I met had one. It's mainly in the vowels. It's called Canadian Raising.

I used to do that. Except when I would say a sentence my talking would gradually get faster and quieter. But I overcame it.

I was actually forced to overcome it because in middle school I was in a play and the director told me that he could not understand a word I was saying. That got me to work on my speech.

My friends told me I sounded like a retard.

According to This Quiz, I have a slight Boston accent, although like Life Sucks I am capable of pronouncing Rs.

That quiz said I was either from Rhode Island, north Jersey, New York City or Connecticut.

...It couldn't be more wrong. I've lived in Lapland for all my life.

I shouldn't have an accent, because I know how words are supposed to be pronounced, but I rarely speak english, so the words sound different in my mouth than they do in my mind. I guess I do have some horrible swedish accent.

When I was younger, I had this tendency to repeat the last part of a sentence I just finished in a wishper.

there are a million british accents and i'm 100% certain you mean cockney, and even then you probably mean the even more awful cockney that you get in american tv shows (which tends to sound australian)

I don't really have an accent. But I'm slowly starting to pick up Maine lingo. Well, I guess I'm starting to say things like hard as haad.

I love when people refer to British accents, 9 times out of 10 they are talking about English accents. Some people need to learn that the United Kingdom isnt all england. There's other countries there too!

I hate being asked if I'm english. (No offence to the English here)

I can definitely tell the difference between and an English accent and a Scottish/Irish accent. But Scottish and Irish accents sound pretty much the same to me.

What!?

They are totally different.

Sounds like a Boston accent to me, where hard = hahd, park = pahk, car = cah, retarded = retahded, mark = mahk, etc. I fucking HATE the Boston accent.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Scottish and Irish accents are INSANELY fucking different, dude.

THANK YOU V5!

People need to learn to listen.

Yeah, that's it. Everyone does it Maine. It bothers me, and it bothers me more, that I'm starting to get it.

That's like me, but only I am picking up an Aussie twang. Annoys the shit out of me, but it's going to happen.

That quiz says I have a southern accent. I figured I would get something like that even though I'm from Michigan, because when my family and a friend of mine went on a cruise last summer all the kids we hung out with agreed that my friend and I had redneck accents, me moreso than my friend. I'm fine with it, I got a bit of the redneck in me.

I was down at Mardi Gras in New Orleans and some chicks claimed that I had a Chicago accent. I don't really see it but I'll agree to anything if theres chicks involved.
