Do you guys have an accent?

I've heard from some that I still have a Korean accent (but I've been speaking English for 12 years now....@_@) and at times a Chicago-an accent (short "a"s). And apparently, a British accent slips out sometimes...I say "hee-yuh" instead of "here" and "wah-tuh" instead of "water".


I've never lived in Britain or been there, and Lord knows I'm not British.

It's been beaten out of me, but I had a Philly accent when I was younger. 'Wooduh' instead of 'water,' 'pixtcha' instead of 'picture.'

I had someone ask me once if I wasn't from around here, because my vowels come out sounding English, according to some people. I personally don't hear it, but 'w'eveh.'

I have a slight Boston accent... I've never lived there, but my family is from the Boston area and I grew up hearing them talk that way.
Like, instead of "car" I say it "cah" but not all of the time... sometimes it just slips out.

Aigoo, you're from Korea? What part? My cousin and his wife are currently living outside of Sol and two of my other cousin were adopted from there.

Well, I've been told that I have a mixture of a french/english accent. french makes sense because my mom has a super heavy French accent. But the English..I have no english in my blood and I've never even been to England. Beleive it or not, there was this director once who told me it was probably because all the T.V. I watched when I was a baby was Mary Poppins....

Seoul. Nice try though. I was born in the First Hospital of Seoul, but I grew up in Pusan, where my mom's parents lived. My mom attended the University of Seoul.

I have a slight Canadaian (Northeast) accent. I could always make it go away, but it's gone down a bit over the past few years. It comes out more when I'm tired.

I grew up in what's basically a suburb of Manhattan, but also known as upstate NY. People tell me I have a New York accent...

I don't really know anymore -- I say some things with an east coast "flair" because both my parents are east coaster (NY and Philly), but I've been raised in California.

It depends on the time, place and day.

For the first eighteen years of my life I lived on Long Island so I always had a thick New Yawk accent. My parents were both born and raised in Brooklyn. I then moved to Missouri for 5 years and I probably had a slight twang while living there. I have lived in CT for the past 25 years and I still can't get the New Yawk out of me.

I don't think I have it, but my other has this Jewish'Jersey/Brooklyn accent. It's pretty amusing.

I don't have an accent, but I pronounce certain words, like "caramal" and "orange", with a New York accent (as in "ahrange" and "kerramel").

BSo, technically Em is slightly more up than we are, but yes we are absolutely under no certain circumstances upstate.

I have a suburb New York accent(same pronounciations just not as thick in the city). I was made fun of for things like cawfee tawk and saying horrible pronouncing the o the way you would in octupus.

I grew up in the middle of Connecticut so, as far as I know, I am the only person in my school who does not have any accent whatsoever.

I have a southern U.S. accent.

I have what my friends have called a "city-southern" accent. I sometimes have a drawl, but not hick sounding. and the majority of the time I can actually control it so I don't drag everything out, LOL. What can I say, I'm from Atlanta, the "deep south" :-p

Apparantly, I have a little bit of a Long Island accent. Every "er" becumes "uh," and a tendency to put an "ay" sound on words such as "camera" and "camel."

And of course, it's impossible to quote Monty Python without using a Cockney accent.

nope... none whatsoever :P

Yeah right Zeppie, I told you you did when we talked. I am exaactly right. Western New Yorker(see? I learned!)

I'm originally from Georgia, so whenever I'm in the south, my "y'alls" and twangs come out...

Anyone else waiting for ConvinceMe to tell us something that doesn't add to his sex appeal?
