Re: American accents that really bug you
I love all American accents.
The only ones that I don't like are ones put on, especially white guys waxing ebonic. |

FWIW, anybody that says y'all on a regular basis should be put in front of a firing squad. By "on a regular basis" I mean more than once in his life. [/ QUOTE ] Boooooo |

[ QUOTE ] I'm from Oregon.... we have no accent whatsoever. [/ QUOTE ] You cant say 'I dont have an accent' Accents are relative. Everyone has one. [/ QUOTE ] Most people on the West Coast have a neutral accent- they speak 'Broadcast English'. Do you think that Joe Average CNN/Fox/MSNBC anchor has an accent? |

Just because 'broadcast joe' sounds this way, doesnt mean he doest have an accent. You are arbitrarily defining that speach pattern to be without an accent. It's your definition. If I choose to define people from London as not having an accent, then, yes, of course, those people have HUGE accents. |

It's the most amazing thing. |
