I'm from Connecticut, so I have a slight New England accent. Though I don't pronounce "A's" at the end of my words as "R's" :P

Pretty much the same as Tabris, even though I've picked up some Midwestern. I have a mutt accent.

I have whatever accent comes from being in the east. << I've been asked whether I'm from New York or South Dakota before.

I grew up in Cornwall, but my parents were from the south east, and now I live oop north, so imagine Pa Larkin mixed with a barrow boy topped off with a touch of Yorkshire farmer ... its a mess alight :D

British South-East. I live in Essex but I pronounce the letter 't', so I suppose it's British South-East & BBC Pronunciation. Cheerio, what what, old chap.

I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to think I use the "generic" American. Though I tend to temporarily assmiliate another accent if I'm exposed to it for any significant amount of time.

Torontonian, with a hint of Mile End I picked up from my dad.

I mostly have a boring ontarian accent, but when I'm in an intellectual battle, I tend to unknowingly add a hint of a British accent, and when I'm with friends partying and just being useless, I get a bit of a quebec sound, not much though.

Essex is always pronounced "Ethics" to me, especially by my friend from Southend.

Im from NY state, but Im NOT from "New York" if you know what I mean.
Upstate NY almost has a slight southern "twang" to it, but with more of a back hills drawl. (depends on how far into the hills you come from) :shock:

I grew up in California and Nevada watching British comidies, so my accent is odd to put it mildly :)

I also tend to adopt the accent of the person I'm talking to due to years of working retail :D

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

I take that to mean you have a Valley Girl accent.
