I love American Accent......I hate British accent

[TheUnknownUchiha]

leobaba7, That is not true! I've been in America for almost 15 yrs now and every one I have met sounds like that. And i've been to 7 US states.

in thick Chicago accents, "this, that, these, and those" become "dis, dat, dese, and doze." fun fact

I just thought of something......people who want to know the closest thing to a typical American accent........Bill O'Riley on FOX news.......he has a pretty neutral accent

[inkey2]

@curiousf1 i do not think there is a "typical American accent"......the closest thing would be the way our network news casters talk on television. You really cannot have an American Regional Accent and land a big network TV job. The USA is so ethnically diverse that there are many very different sounding accents. For example....I live in the North East USA near Boston. My accent is so different from someone living down south in Alabama

how the hell are non americans going to remember all this shit. The best way, I think, is to just watch alot of American movies and emerse yourself in the language

omg who gives a crap... be proud of ur own accents jeez it who you are. im a american and i have the california accent. and im not changing for anyone

I'm English, but living in France and being subject to stereotyping has turned me to hate what is typical of British people. I therefore intend to learn and adopt the American accent and learn the culture. So when some French guy says ' ah, you're English, do you like football? do you drink tea? Do you use a red London bus? I'll respond: I like baseball, I drink Bud and I use a greyhound. So fuck off!

[ashfangirl]

Jeez could the intro be any longer?
