    Probably because British girls are suckers for American accents :P At least in my experience : /

    Are British men suckers for girls with American accents?

    Oooh, Anna, I agree about the Irish!

    Okay. We've met our quota of Brits. We'll mark it off on the diversity forms. Now go hide somewhere. :tongue: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    You know what they say about you Yanks: Oversexed, Overpaid and Overposting :tongue: :laugh:



    I wish I was oversexed and overpaid :(

    I hear ya sister! :laugh:

    :laugh: I was gonna say, I'm moving to America if that's the case!! :bigsmile:

    How is it even possible to be over sexed?? I've been meeting the wrong guys! :sad:

    I'm not sure HOW you can be "oversexed", but I'd be willing to try it...

    I don't think there is such a thing as being "over paid " though...

    I think the question is; are American girls suckers for a brit accent? :)
    Heard they are; but then sadly my accent is a bit 'mongrel' and strange even if that is the case (brought up in Papua New Guinea with lots of Australian friends, then moved to Essex for teenager years.)

    Anyway - another single brit - currently on exile from the South in West Yorkshire!

    Ahem.. British boys.. meet Canadian girls. Especially those of us with dual UK citizenship. We have an "American accent" (to your ears pehaps), spell things properly (colour!!) and have just enough English in us to know what you are going on about. Best of both worlds, no? :wink:

    But SB, do you say "couldn't care less" or "could care less"?? This is the ultimate test of the Queen's English......:noway: :laugh:

    Does anyone else feel like the term "American accent" is a bit too broad? Americans have accents and cultural slang that vary from state to state. Californian (what I got stuck with :frown: ), Texan, New England, New York! I think people think of west coast when they think of "American" accents, and I blame Hollywood for that.

    I think that's obvious, it's couldn't care less - because if you could care less, that means you care on some level.

    Its funny for me becausing living in south florida we are constantly surrounded by different accents. People tell me I sound like the T.V. but I do have a tendancy to pick up whoevers accent Im talking to

    Exactly!!! :flowerforyou: But I've really lost count of the amount of times I've seen it the 'American' way. Google says it's an 'Americanism' :noway:

    Very true (when I was 8 we drove from California to New york over 6 weeks or so and saw the vast array of well, everything the US has to offer!)
    However, the same for the UK, despite it's significantly more compact nature, we manage a massive variation in accents.
    Moving 200 miles north and I'd have probably understood people in New York better.

    Oh and yes, always like the idea of Canada too :).

    Is looking like it's getting a bit nippy AnnaPixie - need to convince myself to man up and not get a 'turbo trainer' to cycle indoors :).

    Same as Britain, we have many, many different regional accents. Even London has different accents, ranging from East - cockney to West -Queens. I've been told by an American that I sound like an Australian!! :noway:

    I think I could definitely tell a NY Bronx accent. Also, a Southern twang. Jim explained the North accent but I cant really hear the difference and I certainly can't tell American from Canadian!! :huh:

    (ducking from SB** :wink: )

    Good to know that about different accents in there too - is it as radically different as I believe "southern" and Hollywoodians tend to be?

    (Forgive me, I spent more of my time in Germany rather than the UK)
    All I know about Canadians I got from South Park. They say "Eh?" a lot and pronounce "ou" as "oo" rather than "ow" HOW ABOOT THAT, EH!? S'quite fun!
