I'm from Oklahoma with an Okie "Yes ma'am, ya'll come back now" twang. To hear me try to do British mimicry is laughable.
But, when I sing, I've been told that I do a very good Roger Waters imitation.
Any thoughts? Monsignor? Want to chime in?
TS without jackboots? The world would fall off its axis.
Edit: To spell off correctly. |

I'm originally from northern California and don't, as far as I know, really have an accent....which is pointed out to me often at work, when people demand to know where I'm from.
I am a fairly good mimic, however, as long as I'm not thinking about what I'm doing. |

I have a good ol' Georgia accent tempered with seven years in southern California. And I've watched enough British TV to where their accents sound normal to me. Those Canadians, on the other hand... |

This reminds me of a recently locked thread. The real problem with necro'd threads is it makes me miss all the baiters that are not around any more.
Ok now that's out of the way I agree Canadian's talk funny. |

Bravo95...It makes me wonder where are they now? I see members that had been on Eater for years with 1000+ posts and they're ghosts.
RL I guess. I've been here just a bit over 6 months...do we go through predictable phases? Have I just past some algorithmic equation that says "Justcold will now be contributing 50% less content in the next 2 months".?
Even so, Canadians...how can one be "aboot" something? Really? I lived in Grand Rapids, MN for a year and heard the unholy encroachment of Canadaese into our beautiful American dialect.
BTW..PF, Ts said he was from Northern California. That's just southern Canada in my book. Please DB. I will report.
Edit: damn ninga's. |

I presume the Aussie accent sounds funny to some people.
I used to have a thick southern American accent when living overseas. Lost it soon after I returned home. Now sound almost like a cross between an Aussie and a Kiwi . |

Having lived all over the US and in Canada (yes, PF in Canada, eh?), I find I can speak Canadianese quite well. Although I am originally from the mid-west, I was told once that I speak with a California accent (now what the heck is that?)
I can do southern well, but it still has that mid-western nasal sound. I can do redneck quite well and get a lad to actually hang up the phone when I start on saying "euros"
Now I do like the word "whilst" and use it in writing. Maybe my proper English M I L subliminally made it enter my vocabulary.
JustCold could do Clark Gable quite well I think. |

The Scottish accent is supposedly the BEST in the world
Quote: |
Scottish – Probably the Best Accent In the World…Englishmen have been known to migrate to Los Angeles and return home a scant few months later with a Californian twang stretched across their vowels. American girls will come to work in London and then jet back across the Atlantic sporting shiny new Kensington-influenced accents. However, the chances are that if you dropped a Scotsman into the middle of the Amazonian jungle, where they had to live with the forest people for twenty years, and have no contact with any other Scots, they would still speak like a Scot. In fact it's very likely that the jungle people themselves would all be talking in thick Glaswegian accents. Why? Because, according to an increasingly persuasive amount of research, everyone wants to sound Scottish nowadays. . .
In a recent survey commissioned by the communications group The Aziz Corporation, 55% of business executives said they believed that Scots accent was desirable in business because it conveyed 'above average honesty in the personality of its owner.' Compare this with the survey scores of our United Kingdom counterparts, with some English regional accents scoring as little as 22% and you begin to get an idea of why the Scots accent is so highly prized in the worlds of advertising and telemarketing. The same survey threw up some other interesting statistics: 63% of people believed that if they meet someone with a Scottish accent in a business capacity, they will generally believe that the person is successful. The Aziz Corporation's chairman Khalid Aziz said, 'If you want to get ahead in business. . .it is better to sound as if you are from Scotland than from any English region.' Or, as one female advertising executive, puts it – 'the Scottish accent sells.'
But perhaps this isn't so surprising when we consider the effects the Scots have wrought in the world of cinema. Are there many women over forty who don't go weak at the knees at the sound of Sir Sean Connery's silky purr? Or many women under forty who don't have the same reaction when they hear Ewan McGregor's honey-dipped tones?

My accent is upperclass brit meets manc...... sort of 'Don't yah know....innit."
A frenchman speaking English is very sexy though.....
Apparently the most trusted English accent is Geordie or North Yorkshire and the least is Liverpuddlian.
I do like a southern states drawl though, its well very comfortable.
Ok I'll stop now, wheres my coat? |

Being a West country lad the Geordie accent is bit strange, and a Brummie (Birmingham accent) is quite amusing - no doubt they feel the same about mine, however I have been to Finland several times where they can speak English very well albeit with an American accent (probably to do with the language tapes they get at school). but it is a lot better than me trying to learn Finnish.
justwhistle there is nothing upperclass about the word 'innit'.
American accents: Southern girls accents are sooo sexy.
Anyway, back to strangling those cats............ |
