What do people assume about you from your accent/dialect?

[Sean Adisano]

People assume I'm American because I mask my accent but I dont even have a green card. I grew up in England and when I talked to my friends back there I talk in that accent and when i talk to folks here it's different.

I don't know if its fake of me to do that but I am already different being Asian but having a Brit accent and Azn just makes me feel like I stick out.

[Bastila]

Well sometimes people when they first meet me they say if I am from American or grew up there for a while, but nope I just have a weird accent lol.
But then again I think it's as I talk right.

You gotta love my midwestern-non-regional dialect...

That's the reason so many actors and newscasters come from the midwest, there is no discernable accent

though if you like I can do an accent. I'm good with Scottish, Bostonian, Southern, Austrian, English (more welsh), Russian, and I do a mean Christpher Walken

it's a great way to entertain/meet women

 

[Sean Adisano]

The Motherland.

ok, so it was a BIT stupid, but hey there ARE regional differences. My buddy Ian from Liverpool would always goad on me because I assumed there was just Scottish and English accents in the UK...don't blame me If I still don't quite get the nuances...

That's not what I was saying.

English (more welsh):

England and WALES are two completely different countires. Have can you have an English/Welsh accent? You mean BRITISH.

Everything's making you sad today.

 

[Immortalfire]

That I'm a stupid moron from the south, who doesn't know anything.

[kingman]
