    Depending on who I'm talking with/to, my accent will change noticeably ...

    this!
    growing up i was surrounded by stong accents... english and maltese at home, and Bermudian (the rest of the population of the country .. all my schoolmates and friends, etc)

    Oddly i never developed any regional accent.

    i live in western canada now, and the same remains true.. no specific sound to my voice.
    That being said, if i spend very long in the company of someone with an accent, i find myself slipping into their accent.

    My family used to laugh at me when i spent time with a friend with a very strong newfoundland accent, as everytime i went home i sounded like her *LOL*
    Same is true when i go home to Bermuda for a visit, or spend much time with my sri lankan friend *S*

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


    pssst... you DO have a Bermudian accent... sorry *chuckling* only really more obvious maybe when you come to canada for a visit maybe *S*

    Country to popular belief those of us in Boston CAN say the word car without the accent, lol.

    But I have trouble with magarita, corner, international, party...many others. It's when the r comes in the middle of the word. At the end I'm all set but it seems to disappearing the middle. I took come classes in high school that basically focused on speaking good English, with an acce nt. That helped me become more aware of it. I've found you sound more educated if you don't have a heavy Boston accent. A lot of yuppies will assume you're white trash just bc you have an accent.

    Whenever I go down to Florida or anywhere people know I'm from Boston right away tho so I guess I'm not that good at hiding it. But for where I'm from I am, most people who grew up around my neighborhood have much stronger accents, my parents included.

    Minnesota, so most likely a Mid-western accent, but I know I don't have the "Fargo"/Northern MN/ND accent! LOL! I don't think i have an accent though.

    I have a Welsh accent that has been ruined by years of living in London, so I have a sorta stereotypical American twang... People who meet me for the first time always think I'm American because of this!

    Theres nothing cuter than an accent. I think theyre all attractive, but the best ever is a southern accent on a good down home man. mmm.
