Hang on a minute - first you're claiming that you're accent is German-Irish, then you're claiming that it's French... but you live in the U.S.?!
Something really isn't adding up. |

I find many accents to be very hard on my ears and other parts of my body (sometimes I actually get chest or stomach pains!) and it's terrible because it makes me look like a horrible bigot, and I'm not.  I have a hard time listening to accents that sound really sing-song, bouncy, guttural, nasally, gravelly, or uses a lot of slang words not normally spoken except with that dialect. In Nova Scotia people are known for the cheerful greeting, "How she goin, cousin? What's goin' on? What's your fadder's name?" For some reason I speak with quite a neutral accent (which many people outside of Canada would call an "American" accent, which drives me crazy). When I was younger a kid once thought I was from New York because he was from New York and said I sounded like him. I don't think I sound like I'm from any part of New York (city or state) but I used to often speak too loud.  There are some accents I do like, however, and enjoy imitating as well (when no one else is around). |

You're from Derry, so your accents can be, er, somewhat difficult to understand.
I need to respond to your PM, so I do.  |

My husband and I were in a coffee shop in Rhode Island. He started to order something and the waitress jumped up and down and ran away to the kitchen, screaming. One of her colleagues came out and told us the reason for her behaviour was that she loved accents.
We're from the outskirts of Glasgow and, as well as an accent, we have a distinct dialect - but if speaking to a non local, we don't have a problem making ourselves understood. Our normal way of speaking isn't overly Glaswegian anyway.

| Northern Midwestern US. I go a little bonkers inside whenever I meet a gentleman from Minnesota or Wisconsin. Must be my obsession with Dick van Dyke. |

Yes.
But really depends on what kind of accent though.
I find guys speaking in British, Finnish *swoons*, Swedish, Norwegian or Dutch accents extremely sexy. |
