How much of a drawl is your accent anakinfan? (I'd rather call you by your alias if that's okay)

I was referring in that comment to the stereotypical, super exaggerated Southern accent. The one they get a bad rap for.

 

I live in Alabama,I'm around the accent all day and I've gained somewhat of an accent.
Oh yeah for any Auburn fans,WDE.

To be honest I know people who been born in Alabama and have literally no accent at all and there are people who have pretty damn thick accents all together. But when someone is recorded I can always hear some type of draw, even though when I talk to them they speak just like a Northerner.

 

It's funny, we hear American accents everywhere, and I don't have a problem understanding what anyone's saying when it's coming out of a speaker. But out in the real world it's different. I don't know if it's just the fact that running into Americans in my everyday life is a once in a blue moon thing and I don't expect to hear these words coming at me in such a different format than everyone else I've talked to that day, but man it's hard sometimes understanding you guys IRL. Throws me for a loop every time.

And now that I think about it, I should have no excuse since my next door neighbour, as it turns out, is American.

 

Yeah I imagine it works both ways.

But you should have no problem understanding us, we pronounce everything so much clearer

 

In my personally opinion I have an easier time understanding anything but British,Irish, and Scottish accents.

 

Sounds to me like a challenge

 

Same for me somehow, even though both of my parents absolutely have no Southern draw at all even if recorded they have no draw but using anything like a microphone,video, or etc I tend to have just a slight draw on few times. Thought I had a man tell me I talk funny, saying that I had a North Carolinian accent.

WOT U SAY M8!? I"LL COM OVA THER AN SOCK U A GEWD 1 M8!

 

Yeah see what you're doing is going off the bastardised version that appears in the British incest memes that get posted on 4chan every now and then.

One more video, and then I'm going to think about going to bed.

 

American accents sound normal on television, but Australian accents don't. It's weird, maybe it's the stark contrast, but Australian accents always sound like Steve Irwin or Crocodile Dundee in American shows.

 

Ohh, Australia might have a new PM by the end of the day.

 

I declare this map a Rush page.

 

I've known more than one person who has lived in Michigan their whole life and develops a southern accent... They always seem to be from Pontiac... I'm still not sure how that works.

 

Unless it's Anna Torv because she just puts on any accent she wants.

I pretty much love accents, all of 'em. I just love it when people sound differently, I guess.
