Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

Met a while ago some people from Hahvaehd. They're cute.Originally posted by Kramerman
the boston accent is funny. They say r's at the end of words were they arent supposed to be (usually words that end in 'a'), and dont say them in words they are supposed to be in.
Such as, "I pahked the caah in back of the yahd"
and then they'll continue to say htinks like, "i have an idear about space and time..."Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.Comment

I don't know which is the funniest accent, but the most difficult to understand is the Irish one. Are they really speaking in English?"Never trust a man who puts your profit before his own profit." - Grand Nagus Zek, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, episode 11

And speaking about accents, there is a funny thing about it in Spain. Spanish speakers from Barcelona and Madrid are very difficult to distinguish. In fact people from Barcelona with Spanish as their mother tongue are often took for Madrid people (except by the Madrid people, who are the only ones that notice the difference)."Never trust a man who puts your profit before his own profit." - Grand Nagus Zek, Star Trek Deep Space Nine, episode 11

Actually in the local accent, it's pronounced "Baaath". It's just that the city's chock full of posh types from forn paaarts.Originally posted by MikeH
Barth is the correct way to say it. The people who live in a place should know how to pronounce it wouldn't you say?

I once drank with a guy from Wales. Started aroun 4pm, couldn't understand a word he was saying, but he was speaking english... But, I was able to understand almost every word he was saying after around 12am... And, by 4 am, I was speaking just like him!!!I don't know which is the funniest accent, but the most difficult to understand is the Irish one. Are they really speaking in English?
So, I hope that clears up your dilema

I'm not sure what my accent sounds like, but at certain parts of my life, I've had both a Bostonian accent and a Quebeqois accent (only while speaking French). I've since lost both, but without really picking up a distinctive replacement (though I'm told I pick up a Romanian accent while talking in English to my parents, which tends to happen if you change languages in mid sentence).
Funny accent: Bavarian accent. Can't understand a word of it, they might as well be speaking Dutch."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

What kind of shoddy accent-project is this where there's not a single sample from Alberta! And FIVE from Saskatchewan!
Damn KU!
Ah, for all I know, I probably just sound like the Saskatchewaners anyway. Still, boo to that."I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?" -Frank Zappa

Fools, it is I who has no accent! Seriously, though, Connecticut's "accent" is pretty benign (or boring, depending on how you look at it).
