The only accent I really don't like probally is british. Sorry Mark (veedo). But I just don't really like it for some reason, that and the vocabulary they use. Something about hearing "jolly good day" just makes me feel violent, and hearing "Bloody" before every word doesn't help calm the violence down either. Never have I, or anyone I know, said "Jolly good day" and the only time I have ever said "bloody" is either A: if I just sawn my arm off or B: ... Saw my leg off? So right there you just stereotyped England. >/ |

I love British accents...Being part Irish I also love the little lilt in their voices...The hardest thing for me to get use to by having a friend that is british is the the different words they use for things...Like shag...::smiles at Mark:: That is an intresting word for it...

You could say it's a steriotype, but I go to college with this one guy who is from England that does talk like that. It doesn't mean everyone from England speaks that way, but some do. He would always tell me something I did was "jolly good".
It's just like in America, there's like 8 different accents here.

XD At my college there are at least 32 different accents, and that's just the ones who live in the area. |

True, I think about 8 eminated from here, but there's tons from other places. Mark (The other one) has a pretty noticable accent but he got so used to us making fun of him that he laughs with us now. (No fun!) Now that I think about it I don't like new york accents either. But yeah, there's alot here... Hmmm.... People from jersey have a weird kind of accent, they talk really really fast. From the south vowels are extended to be very long. I know when I was on the phone with Davin and Mika that one time they said I had an accent which surprised me, but yeah I see your point about the variety. Depending on what race you are just in this area alone you pick up different accents (though I seemed to have aquired the wrong one).
