Posting in accents

We should all be posting in Irish accents today

*goes hunting The Dubliners songs*

Just curious, but when you read another person's post, what accent do you
have in your head. I know you are all thinking eeh!

What I mean is mostly when I read a post I read it with my British
accent. But then sometimes I might build up an impression of
a person in my mind depending what they have said and
kind of hear their accent, or what I think they might sound like, in my head.

So TX for example, I read his posts with a sort of Dallas drawl in my head.

While pmom, I think of her voice as being bubbly, mumsy, chatty with British accent.

Blain, in my head has a BBC newsreader voice.

Depleted - maybe a country girl USA accent, I think because of the denum
jeans on the teddy bears. Lol.

Sirk, maybe a Uk cockney London accent. Lol

Tintin - got to be a croc Dundee with a tinge of Eton school boy in there.

Olderthennew - that's tricky I think they sound like everyone's favourite
aunt and uncle, something like the Waltons.

So now you know I really am nuts after all. Lol

Me Mary Poppins. I wish I had her finger clicking skills I could do the cleaning in
a jiffy (uk slang for immediately).

And Margaret Thatcher wwjd, oh my goodness

What type of accent did Maggie Thatcher have? (If you say "British," I'll hit you.)

No that's midget size! Most are taller than me!

Margerate Thatcher in the boys club (the houses of Parliment is like a boys club
bless um)

What accent do you think of when da blue ladybug talks? lol

All yall are having a Conecuh county accent...

If it's crosstweed, it's a a little lower than my voice, but I always picture her as a female version of Benedict Cumberbatch, so whatever a witty British female detective sounds like...

Lol, I'm 5'3, but pert near ever girl from there was towering above me.

Haha this is interesting. I've always imagined everyone to sound like me. I hear my voice when reading through posts. Well maybe they sound different depending on the person. Like, when I'm reading Missy's posts, it's a high pitched version of myself. And if it's Molly, well, actually I've heard her talk so I hear her voice, same for Katie, Siberian and Roh. I have heard Tintin's and Chancer's too.

If it's crosstweed, it's a a little lower than my voice, but I always picture her as a female version of Benedict Cumberbatch, so whatever a witty British female detective sounds like...

LittleBit, I always imagine her voice to sound like smiling when she's talking or something. Maybe because of her avatar.

The rest are just different versions of my voice lol, depending on their avatars too.

So far I've been mistaken for a , by the guys own words; yankee, on Isle of Bute (and a couple of other places), Swedish by a guy in England, and English (!) by a Scottish guy somewhere around the Borders. I cannot fathom how he'd think that

.... I couldn't speak like that (Tatcher) even if I got a million dollars for it

- I read JennyMae with a Texan accent

You're Mary Poppins. (Well really Julie Andrews, but a younger version.)

Tintin confuses me. He used to have an Aussie accent, until I read him using "bucko," so now he has something between an Aussie and a Brooklyn. (And, Tintin, sorry if you're from New Zealand, but I can't tell if there is a difference in accents. I have trouble judging a British accent from an Aussie accent.)

Tx, sadly, has a North Carolina or South Carolina accent, not a Texas accent.

Pmom has an upstate NY/Minnesota accent.

Blain? I can hear and see him, but can't remember his name. Young actor -- was big when he was a teen and then in his 20's. I think he still does movies and TV shows, but the pretty guy opposite Molly Ringwald in those 1980's moves. (Not the guy in Two and a Half Men.) Andy or Andrew... something another?

Sirk? Something like Warren Zevon. (Something like a Chicago/LA accent -- not much of one, but there is a speech pattern that's not slow like the south but not quite as fast as the Northeast either.)

Willie -- John Wayne. (I even keep expecting him to add, "Little Lady" here and there, but he hasn't.

NU2See -- Northeast Philly with a little South Jersey in it.

Utah -- straight up Jersey, (not to be confused with straight up Joisey.)

wwjd -- Margaret Thatcher.

Blue Ladybug -- Syracuse, NY. (She sounds like family.)

Kayla -- There's a difference between a southern accent depending if you're rich, middle class or poor. She's got refined Southern Accent. (Not because I picture her rich. I really don't picture people's social status. It's putting a Canadian into America's South that did that. There's always a little old-accent leftover.)

Coby is suburban Ohio. (Meh. Sorry. Shes not even from the State. lol)

Melita is quiet, but the good kind of quiet. When she speaks, you strain to hear. (Hers comes in a whisper, but I listen for it.)

Crossnote sounds like a Sunday preacher from the Mid Atlantic states.

JesusLovesAll sounds like one from Northern Virginia. (No southern accent, but there's a slower speech pattern.)

And OldThenNew doesn't have any accents other than I can tell they're from a little further South than me. (Maryland? Delaware? West Virginia? 'round there somewhere.) The uniqueness with them is every other word is a woman's voice and then the ones around those words is a man's voice. (I hear both of them. lol)

Jaume sounds like Gandalf the Gray.

Who'd I miss?

And, yes. I also imagine what people look like and I have a tendency to give them the exact opposite look from who they are, so I'm sure my accents are equally as wrong.

D.. Howd you get Carolina?

I don't ready any posts in accents. I just read them in my head with my own voice, so you all have my voice lol.

And what accent is that...?
