What accent do you have?

Postby CameronCN » Wed Oct 03, 2007 9:08 pm

What's your accent in normal conversation? I'm sure we have all types here.
Me, I still have the classic Pacific Northwest pronunciation from living in Oregon. That's the accent that's known for being the most plain vanilla of any US accent. :P I have tried to keep it from being muddied by the local Idaho twang/drawl and the mumblytag favored by kids my age around here. Sometimes I slip into a sort of watered-down British clip.

You?

Cameron is awesome because:
-Because he has an artistic style that is both complex and minimalist. This is profound!
-He once drew me as a roadrunner. It was an actual honest to god feral roadrunner, but a roadrunner nonetheless!
-He lives in Idaho among the wilderness and stuff and I envy him for that. 3:
-He is probably one of the most personable artists on here.
-I think he's the only one of us on here who drew a fanart that made it as a guest strip on O&M. This is an accomplishment!

Canadian+Irish+Australian, with hint of British, Russian, and Kansas for good measure.

I have a generaly northern accent, mostly because I lived in New Jersey from when I was about 6. I remember when everybody was confused on my bus when I said "Oh look, a quad" when I saw one on someones truck. They call them 4-wheelers here.

Whatever comes from growing up in Pittsfield, MA...Northern accent, maybe? :P
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Tengo un acento espanol. But most of the time I speak English and I guess I have a caucasian accent.

I kind of sound like a valley girl. Which blows.
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 don't know about me but people have commented that my brother sounds british.

Also, I'm from New Jersey. The land of the free and the home of the Atlanta Braves.
That which does not kill me, cripples me for life.

I've lived in Georgia for more than half of my life, yet apparently people can still detect an accent from when I lived in St. Louis, Missouri. Then again, it's not like I'm going to start slipping into "ya'll come back now, ya hear?" or anything, hehe.
