    I have a bit of a southern accent. Oddly, my nine year old has taken to speaking in a British accent in the past couple of weeks on and off. Hoping that is a phase, we live in Texas.....

    I am from KS, living in New York. I am British/American, my mom's mom is from England, my mom was also born in Kansas. So we carried the accent down the line. And in school, my English teacher never liked how I said words.

    I'm English and my accent really depends on who I'm with =/ If I am hanging out with my friends it's very much a northern accent if it's with strangers I get this standard English accent and no idea where it comes from.

    It's a mix of Ramsgate (south east Kent), Norfolk (UK) and Leeds - so I'm a mix of southerner, midlander and northerner.

    I grew up in Chemung County, NY. So whatever that accent is. :-)

    I think it's mostly that generic Midwestern US accent, but there are certain words that I say "wrong" and have it in common with others from there. For example, I say bay-gel instead of bah-gel for bagel. Drove my Jewish grandmother from Buffalo up a wall!

    Mostly southern USA, unfortunately. But put me in a room for five minutes with anyone with a different accent (or speech impediment) and I will automatically start picking up bits and pieces of it. A very embarrassing trait!

    Ditto! I studied in Korea for a while and when I came back I had a Korean twang from being around it so much XD took a while to break.

    I don't really have one.. but a small Boston accent probably. My husband has a strong Boston accent. No "R"s ... not sure how he got one.. we grew up in the same town in Northern Mass
    Yup, slight boston accent here. Not nearly as heavy as some people. But people definatly still notice it.

    I'm from NE Ohio; something or other about a northern vowel drift and a Great Lakes accent. My a's are really sharp and drawn out, and I say gosh like "gAAsh." Hahaha.

    Southern English. Pretty "posh" but not quite "BBC" English.
    I went to America when I was a teenager and had everyone begging me to say things, it was pretty embarrassing.

    For me? Probably a cajun accent.. DAMN.

    Southern y'all. I'm from Tennessee.

    We were at the Zoo in Chicago and a lady told me "I can't understand a thing you are saying, but I love to hear you talk."

    I lived in Texas for a little bit, but have spent most of my years in California. Sometimes people in CA will ask me if I'm from Texas (surprisingly) because they say they hear some southern in me. Odd. Sometimes I say ya'll too.

    Valley...I'm from so cal. It's thick.

    Me too girlfriend! I am in Dallas, TX but am a total transplant. I am from Santa Ana, California in Orange County and I am told I talk "just like them girls from LA-guna Beach!" The longer that I live here the sexier a deep south accent sounds...lol. For instance I love the way Maci and her boyfriend Kyle on Teen Mom talk. I think they are so damn cute with their Tennessee accents. I don't know how I ended up a valley girl because I grew up around my grandma and she is from Arkansas and has a thick accent.

    Sort of a mild, non-specific British accent, I think might be the best way to describe it.
