No offence, but I can hardly understand some of American's accent. Too Irish like, eh?

Southern is the hardest. So is Texas. It's like "Wut?" Just so hard to understand.

Um, in the west we all tend to speak fast, down south its a bit slower...I hate talkin fast so i guess im a southern/western breed

What do we sound like though...Hmm...Call my cell and find out? lol

What do you [meaning people who live in England-- or actually anywhere other than the USA] think of "American Accents"? Do they just sound funny? Smart? Extraordinarily dumb?

I take it you generally mean the Queen's Enlglish-type accent (think Hugh Grant)...

However, there are myriad accents throughout England. I doubt someone from Birmingham sound intelligent, and no-one can understand Newcastle accents unless you live withing a mile of the Tyne! And thats not getting started on the Scouse or those int yarksha...

The guy from the Decemberists is from Seattle I think. He has an interesting accent.

Perhaps, but I've had a few free beers from pouring on the accent. Some folks just like listening to it. As long as you can turn it on and off at will, It's really an asset. :wink:

I'm from the middle of Indiana, and here, most people tend to drop the "g" of off the end of words, such as running "runnin" walking "walkin" etc. and some also say "should have" as though it was written "should of"

Other than that, its a pretty boring accent. I tend to say some words using the Chicago accent, namely the word "Chicago". (maybe its because some of the girls on my dorm floor are from there)
