Explains the smell. Isn't she really, really cheerful?
But I digress. The topic is funny accents. Funny accent:
Hong Kong born Chinese person speaking English learned under British rule, then having to adapt accent to sound more 'American' after moving to America.

One of the hottest guys I ever knew (*ahem* in ye olde Biblical sense) was Australian. The accent has triggered in me some sort of automatic response, kind of like Pavlov's dog. BOING!
Note to self: Don't plan on meeting Boris G on next visit to NYC.

Why does that not surprise me?I was once in a restaurant in Glebe, Aus. I was told by an English gent at the next table (ok, I wasn't TOLD, so much as he raised his voice enough so that the ENTIRE RESTAURANT COULD HEAR HIM) that I had a HORRIBLE AMERICAN ACCENT."I'm so happy I could go and drive a car crash!"

As an Aussie, the NZ and Canadian accents sound wierd. Tou hear no particular accent until one glairing syllable is spoken and all of a sudden you pull up short thinking "where have I heard that before?"."I'm so happy I could go and drive a car crash!"

OK, yeah, I DO have a horrible American accent. I used to have a stutter too, but I got over it. I learned how to speak American by watching spaghetti westerns.
But at least the other kids finally stopped teasing me about sounding 'tarded.-30-Comment

Dear god...
On-topic....
I think Brazilians have some very funny accents when pronouncing English words.. for example:
they say MackieDonells (McDonalds)
and Am-Boogie (Hamburger)
and they ESPECIALLY have trouble with sh*t and sheet.Dom Pedro II - 2nd and last Emperor of the Empire of Brazil (1831 - 1889).
I truly believe that America is the world's second chance. I only hope we get a third...Comment

How's Melbourne treating you BC?
Its cold and the days are pretty short. And its summer for gaud's sakes.
I am having a few surprising problem with my accent here. The local Aussie accent seems to require the word "you" to be a two syllable word, ya-oo, or at failing that an elongated yoooooo. People keep think I'm dropping my "you".
And I hate the damn location of the " on the keyboard. Why isn't above the 2, damnit!One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment
