:laugh:

Thats funny cause Americans don't sound like each other and Canadians don't sound like each other once your out if state/province <.<.

 

But then I've talked to one kiwi and a few Aussies and I can hear the difference....

Some Northern-Midwest/Near Canada Americans sound like Canadians.

 

But only some.

 

It's funny, actually.

I've been told I sound Canadian sometimes. I catch myself using "eh?" every now and then.

I support everything about the title of this thread, regardless of what else occurs in it.

 

 

That being said, I sound nothing like anyone else.

 

 

Toss Southern with a dash of British and me attempting to just have a plain voice with no accent, and you get me.

:tongue:

 

I only sound kiwi when talking with people who have real kiwi accents, because I involuntarily adapt to accents when talking :facepalm:

I've been told I sound British, and American before...well at least I never get comments like "ahhh I figured English wasn't your first language cos your accent sounds German" :laugh:

you need to stop watching kids in the hall reruns immediately.

 

No, it's more from living this close to Canada. :wink: I think Dave Barry once called Canada an entire nation that talks like Buffalo.

I don't know what accent I have half the time. Sometimes it's southern and then there is also the Boston accent. Christine?

It's pretty normal. No real accent to it. Sometimes you say words that have a Southern twang and other words have a Boston hint to it. That being said, you get drunk, and you sound Bostonian.

oh, the humanity... and they don't even get the benefit of wings.

I am from the American South, raised in the "Great State of Georgia."

 

My voice sounds, well... Partially southern, but not Deep South.

 

I've been told that I don't sound South, actually.

This is on purpose. I make a point to sound more midwest/not from the Redneck South.

I mask my accent because I don't want to sound like a "Dumb Southern Blonde"

 

UNTILL

 

I get either REALLY Drunk or REALLY Angry, or exhausted.

THEN, the accent shows up.

I can clearly distinguish a Buffalo accent from an Ontario accent, thankyouverymuch.

I was raised on the same tv as everyone else. I think that went a ways toward evening out the American accent. the generations before mine had much more regional type speech patterns.

I commonly get told that I have a Nova Scotian accent, though I've also heard Scottish, Irish, British (Bristol specifically, today) and Newfie. Apparently for all that I've lived in Ontario for all my life, I do not sound like I belong here.

Who knows what I sound like (a british kiwi I would say is closest) But I do feel the need to defend the kiwi accent from the aussies. It's less crass and far stranger
