I have a terrible southern drawl. It's quite embarrassing. I refuse to listen to myself on an answering machine. Suicide is out of the question, however, as the life insurance won't pay out.

dj mikey mike, i'm assuming you hate bostonian accents/think bostonian accents sound retarded.

I've not heard it, but pronouncing the word 'corner' as 'cowana' pretty much speaks for itself.

What? I pronounce all my letters. I'd forgotten about that call. You had a very strong accent, but you pronounced your words properly. If you'd chaffed words down the phone to me like 'mowa' and 'ova' I would have definitely hung up, haha.

my accent isn't even as strong as most around here. come to boston and you'll be completely PISSED off and want to kill everyone. in fact, go to a red sox game and you will be completely miserable.

edit: here's a rough idea of a bostonian accent... i just found this silly youtube video

I'm listening to some stuff on acting with Aussie, Cockney irish Italian Scottish and Standard british accents

need I add the fact I got a stupid yank accent and it ain't sexay enough

so english = yank accent
french = french accent

I lack all the sexay out of bilingualism

In german I have a yank/french weird combo accent

Not at all, I guess you've never heard a scouser speak.

Saying that Yanks don't do British accents very well. Only ever Yank I've seen do a good British accent was Johnny Depp in the flim From Hell.

Most of the time you guys attempt one you sound like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins 'Apples Pears alright govener cup o tea'

Example of said Dutch slang or STFU!

Posted by wizniz on Mar-13-2007 19:25:

you have to understand i live with these people everyday so i dont notice them until my cousins visit or something. talk w/ me on phone? lol

we also phrase things weird sometimes... i remember one instance on vacation where i confused a store owner.

i found a shirt that i liked but the only size was too big so i asked her: "do you have anymore back?"

she looked at the shirt like there was something wrong with it and stared at me blankly.

fyi that means "are there any more of these in the back of your store?"

also, we use weird sentence structure sometimes.
for instance, when you want someone to throw a tshirt down the stairs to you, we would say: "throw me down the stairs a shirt"

yup. as for dutch slang... if i think of some ill post it.

A: A really broken one!
Sort of a mostly Australian. Bits of SW-English colloquial and Saffa-English pop up from time to time but the inflections are long gone.

I don't have too much of a Minnesotan accent, however I do use a lot of the upper mid-west vocabulary. Such as You betcha' and the word Spendy when asking or describing a particular products price.

Oh lord. I used to have such an ugly French accent when I first started speaking English a few years go. Thank God it went away over the past few years but I still say some words with a slight hint of an accent. The one that took me the longest to say was "There" and not "dere".
