I love accents!! I think they are all beautifull!! :)

In Brazil we have so many accents and they are so different and they all have their own charm!! It's like the music of the speech!! :)

I love the way americans talk (to me is the easiest to understand), but the way british folk, australians, kiwis, irish people talk... wow!! It's so wonderful!!

What can I say.... I'm crazy about accents!!! :) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Very interesting lol. I'll admit southern drawl and western aren't my favorites, but I guess being here, I don't really pay much attention to American accents. I do love Australian, Spanish, and really any South American accent though :p.

Yes: Seriously, cupid.com?

That's my thought.

"Up next: Top 5 most desirable chins." :rolleyes:
I'm guessing "The Jay Leno" would be among the Top 3...

Carol, I totally agree with you and love your phrase, "Music of speech."

I wrote this in another thread, but there are some accents in which, if a person cussed me out up one side and down the other, the only thing I'd tell them is, "Say that again!" with a wistful sigh, because some accents to me are like a song you could play all day.

They could read to me from a dictionary all day and I would be perfectly happy (and would learn a lot in the process.)

Alas. All I can offer is that I have been told I have "a Michigan accent" (never could figure out exactly what that is), aka, the most BORING and common accent there is... meaning that I talk the same way scads of other people talk, including those on the telly and in most movies.

There are some accents that, if I'm around them for some time, I can start to mimic them (I'm not saying I can do it very well, but I like to try), and someday I would love to be able to move in an out of different accents just to watch people's reactions. Back in college my suite mates and I used to shout to each other back and forth in "British" accents just to amuse ourselves during particularly frustrating homework sessions.

Ironically, the one accent I CAN'T do, not even to save my life, is "Asian-speaking-broken-English." Not only am I incapable of copying this manner of speech, it totally goes against all my personal morals when it comes to grammar.

One of my proudest days ever was when I waited on a very lovely couple... and correctly identified their background as being from Australia and not the UK, just by listening to their accent. (British, Aussie, and Kiwi are especially tough to discern... at least, I think so.)

I would love to travel to every country in the UK someday... Just to listen to the accents.

I like hillary clinton's Southern drawl when she's down South and her Bourgeoisie accent when in the Beltway.

Sorry, no american accent does it for me. Give me an Aussie accent and I melt like butter! A Scottish and Irish accent brings a giant grin to my face.
