My sister says I have a slight Canadian accent, which is weird, since I'm Scottish and live in Ohio. :?

Thanks macushla, Keeno, I hadn't really thought of it like that.

Can you add an option to the poll that says 'some American accents' or 'some are okay'?

I find some of them okay, but some become really annoying after a while and sometimes they almost hurt. Some of the southern ones aren't so bad (although really southern ones just sound funny). I like the accents of Richard Bradford (from Man in a Suitcase) and Tony Curtis. I don't know what regions they're from though.

People imitate the 'super preppy' ones because those are the ones heard in so many films.


I don't think I can edit a poll or I would.

Yes, Australian accents are pretty hot. I find scouse to be one of the sexiest accents though.

The other way, there's the persistent belief that Britain and England are the same thing, which upsets a lot of people (both English and non-English, sometimes for different reasons.) I can't distinguish between Welsh accents, I struggle distinguishing Scots ones (which is embarassing given one side of my family is Scots :oops: ), the Northern Irish accent is quite distinct from the southern Irish one.


The most significant distinction of the Northern Irish accent is the Scottish influence upon it. I have often been mistaken for Scottish when in England (though not in Scotland).
