    Melt: All accents, but especially a good ol' southern boy accent, since I'm a southern belle and all

    Drive me mad: Street language...that's not really an accent, but this is my dang answer, lol. (for example, let me check out your crib. My crib? I don't have a baby)
    Rant complete.

    My man is from Bulgaria and when he speaks I melt... especially when he speaks in French - we are both bilingual - it's so proper, parisian, mine is French Canadian French, it's a lot different. He's so sexy :blushing:

    I just want to stress how much I severely dislike Rhode Island accents.

    Rhode Island accents combine the worst aspects of both Boston and New York...so you drive your "cahh" to the "mawl"

    That said, my family is half from Boston and half from New York, so I have a soft spot for both, as they remind me of home.

    I used to love a soft southern accent, but now that I live in the south I find many of them grating.

    For me the worst is that flat midwestern Chicago-Wisconsin accent.

    I could listen to Irish and Spanish accents all day and night.

    Thank you! Everyone hates on Boston accents thinking we all sound like we're in the departed... jesus.

    However, I totally agree on RI being NY and MA, I like to call it their uncool younger sibling. The accent, I mean.

    but as a fan of sociolinguistics I find them all fascinating.

    do you prefer soda, coke, or pop?

    I don't know too many Bostonians that sound like they came straight out of Departed either. If you hear me, you can definitely tell I'm from the North... but you won't be able to pin point :-)

    dislikes; thick accents from Jersey-Boston, and that goofy accent by people in the northern Midwest.

    I'm pretty cool with most other English speaking accents.
